The graphite-webapp does not encourage ad-hoc graphing. Graphiti et al are just fancy UIs that, while improve UI-UX, do not do much regarding the inherent linear metric search that plagues the graphite-webapp. Correct me if wrong here, but the only option I came across that encourages ad-hoc graphing has been Graph-Explorer. Assuming, that Graph-Explorer is the only way ahead.
I have some 1000 distinct metrics currently. Named in the following fashion-
stats.beta.pluto.ip-10-0-1-81.helios.pa.v4.reminder.total
stats.beta.pluto.ip-10-0-1-81.helios.pa.v4.reminder.failed
stats.beta.pluto.ip-10-0-1-81.helios.pa.v4.reminder.delivered
stats.dev.ganglia.ip-10-0-3-40.ink.web.pi.notification.android.total
stats.dev.ganglia.ip-10-0-3-40.ink.web.pi.notification.android.failed
stats.dev.ganglia.ip-10-0-3-40.ink.web.pi.notification.android.delivered
I understand that these will become-
metric=stats.env=dev.role=ganglia.server=ip-10-0-3-40. application=ink.endpoint=web.src=pi.metric=notification.what=total
Where do I insert unit and target_type tags?
Similarly, I have 500 timers.
How do I go about migrating from 'proto1' to 'proto2'?
Also where exactly does Carbon-Tagger come into the stack?
Do I rename my metrics at the source level?
Do I modify the
structured_metrics/plugins/statsd.pyfile as we have fixed hierarchy across our distributed infrastructure?Anything I am missing?
What will I have to change in my statsd? I quote the carbon-tagger documentation- "aggregators like statsd will need proto2 support."
回答1:
the structured metrics plugins will set the tags for proto1 ("old style") metrics, see https://github.com/vimeo/graph-explorer/wiki/Structured-Metrics
if you want to stick to proto1 you just have to create a plugin to tag your metrics see https://github.com/vimeo/graph-explorer/wiki/Structured-Metrics#writing-your-own-plugins and existing plugins for examples
you can basically ignore carbon-tagger if you want to stick with proto1, so 3 is not needed, but otherwise yes. the statsd plugin just converts statsd's internal metrics to proto2.
