as someone who had to manage a system like this, i certainly don't. it doesn't scale well, it requires way too much upfront design thought (since metrics are stored in arbitrary dirs), and it's a massive pain to install and manage. not to mention, it's barely developed anymore so much needed features (like carbon cache restarts not taking a million years bc of the slow sequential flush to disk) will probably never see the light of day.
for better or worse, the industry moved on. speaking personally, prometheus is so much better than graphite ever was, in every conceivable way.
- valyala 3y agoThere are Graphite-compatible monitoring systems, which use much more efficient storage format than Whisper. They resolve the most annoying issues associated with Graphite for large-scale setups - high disk IO and high disk space usage. See [1] and [2].
