How Graphite achieves this
Lightweight Graphite plaintext protocol runs on Jetson Orin/AGX, metrics forwarded over HTTPS without a local TSDB or metrics server on the device
Device serial and deployment batch encoded in Graphite paths, fleet-wide and per-device thermal dashboards using wildcard and groupByTags queries
Power envelope alerting: Graphite threshold fires when a device exceeds its thermal design power budget, catches throttle risk before inference degrades
Model update regression tracking: Graphite compares inference FPS distributions before and after deployment using timeShift(), fleet-wide validation in one dashboard
MetricFire includes pre-built Grafana dashboards for edge AI fleets. Per-device thermal, power envelope, inference FPS, and thermal margin panels, ready on day one with no dashboard configuration needed

Self-hosted pain solved
✕Can't ship a full monitoring stack to each edge device → Graphite plaintext protocol is a 200-byte per-metric UDP/TCP send
✕No fleet-level visibility from distributed edge → Graphite wildcard paths aggregate thousands of devices in one query
✕Model update regression undetectable without fleet-wide FPS tracking → Graphite timeShift() compares before/after distributions across all devices
