We could certainly try to strip it down now that I'm not really expecting graphs output for a GUI. Graphite is really just a front-end to the data living in carbon and reported by diamond. The sticking point is that I believe that some are using the graphite API that is wrapped by calamari. Phillip would you please say more about this? Influxdb seems promising AND I have a concern that it seems to not be packages in any of the distros yet. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/?motif=influxdb* http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=influxdb -- sure it's in xenial but I'm not there yet https://software.opensuse.org/package/influxdb What do you think? thank you, Gregory -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
