To integrate Telegraf and Graphite with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Telegraf and Graphite and how that can support your monitoring system.
Telegraf is a plugin-driven server agent built on InfluxDB, and can be used for collecting and sending metrics/events from databases, systems, devices, and a range of popular technologies. It is compatible with many operating systems, and has many useful output plugins and input plugins for collecting and forwarding a wide variety of performance metrics.
See the Hosted Graphite Telegraf docs for detailed instructions on installing/configuring the agent in your servers. In addition to collecting default server performance statistics (cpu/mem/disk/processes), you can configure input plugins to collect data from many other 3rd party services, and pretty much any running process within your servers. Once telegraf metrics are being forwarded to your Hosted Graphite account, you can use these metrics to create custom dashboards and alerts.
You can also generate a helpful Telegraf Dashboard from our Dashboard Library, which offers a great starting point:
Refer to the our Telegraf documentation for a full list of available input plugins, and please reach out to us if you need help configuring any of them.
Graphite is an open-source and highly scalable, real-time graphing system for time-series data. The metrics and data that you send to Graphite’s carbon endpoint are timestamped, and can be graphed using a basic dashboard interface. Graphite is an efficient method of collecting data, is well documented, and is easy to work with.
Hosted Graphite by MetricFire takes away the burden of self-hosting your own monitoring solution, allowing you more time and freedom to work on your most important tasks. You can measure, analyze, and visualize large amounts of data from your applications and infrastructure without the hassles of setting up your own servers, worrying about scaling, storing data, alerting, or maintenance.
MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source tools. We will aggregate and store your data as time series metrics, which can be used to build custom dashboards and alerts. MetricFire takes away the burden of self-hosting your own monitoring solution, allowing you more time and freedom to work on your most important tasks.
MetricFire offers a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of open-source Graphite and Grafana. MetricFire handles the aggregation, storage, and backups of your data, and offers alerting, team features, and API's for easy management of your monitoring environment. You can send server metrics using one of our agents, custom metrics from within your application code, and integration metrics from a variety of popular 3rd party services that we integrate with like Heroku, AWS, Azure, GCP, and many more!
Our Hosted Graphite product has improved upon standard Graphite to add data dimensionality, optimized storage, and offers additional tools and features that provide customers with a robust and well-rounded monitoring solution.
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
Monitoring the health of your API endpoints is crucial to keeping your applications running... Continue Reading
