Graphite committer / co-maintainer here... Feel free to point out useful things graphite could do better (constructively only) and/or some of your favorite posts or tools used with graphite. We aren't too far off from 2 quite massive releases (0.9.11 / 0.10) and are thinking about departing from some of the legacy bits moving forward. I'm looking at you python 2.4

The process of getting graphite web up and running on Mac seemed pretty involved since it's broken up into 3 packages and depends on Cairo which can be finicky. When I last checked there didn't seem to be solid documentation on how to get it all setup. Searching now, this looks promising: http://amin.bitbucket.org/posts/graphite-mac-homebrew.html http://amin.bitbucket.org/posts/graphite-mac-homebrew.html

  Here is another tutorial on how to get setup on OS X: http://steveakers.com/2013/03/12/installing-graphite-statsd-on-mountain-lion-2/ http://steveakers.com/2013/03/12/installing-graphite-statsd-...

  Would it be helpful if that was rolled up in the official docs?

    Yeah I think so. Or maybe a homebrew formula. I don't know how straight-forward that is with Cairo though. Thank you for graphite and thanks for being so receptive!

    Yes please, it looks like amazing software, I just can't figure out how to actually use it.

First of all, thanks a lot for such an awesome tool! I think graphite would greatly improve by having the "web" part split into different apps/packages (API, graphing and frontend/dashboard). That way, people could install whatever they wanted. Imagine "only" having to improve the backend while other people create amazing dashboards (which, right now, is already happening anyway... there's such a fragmentation in the available frontends...) I'd love to help with the split if you deem it worthy & if you need a hand :) I will create a GH issue anyway :D Again, THANKS!
