Graphite is a highly scalable real-time graphing system. As a user, you write an application that collects numeric time-series data that you are interested in graphing, and send it to Graphite's processing backend, carbon, which stores the data in Graphite's specialized database. The data can then be visualized through graphite's web interfaces.

Graphite: aggregation method for counters
I am going to put an ever increasing counter value into Graphite. I'm not sure what I should use for the aggregation method. I think it would either be "min" or "max". The default of "average" doesn't seem to make sense.

Should logs for /opt go in /var/opt or /var/log?
A package I'm using (Graphite) insists on installing into /opt/graphite.
Should logs go into /var/opt/graphite/log, or /var/log/graphite?
Presume we want to be as FHS as possible. I'm using CentOS 6--would it vary by *NIX/distro?

hardening graphite (Carbon)
I would like to use graphite to collect metrics from different servers.
By default, carbon listens on 2003 on all interfaces, which is fine with me.
Now anyone could theoretically send metric data there. Is there a standard way to prevent this from…
