Graphite-Render

Note: This is a maintained friendly fork of the upstream project at https://github.com/brutasse/graphite-api.

Graphite-web, without the interface. Just the rendering HTTP API.

This is a minimalistic API server that replicates the behavior of Graphite-web. I removed everything I could and simplified as much code as possible while keeping the basic functionality.

Implemented API calls:

  • /metrics/find

  • /metrics/expand

  • /render

No-ops:

  • /dashboard/find

  • /dashboard/load/<name>

  • /events/get_data

Difference from graphite-web

  • Stateless. No need for a database.

  • No Pickle rendering.

  • No remote rendering.

  • JSON data in request bodies is supported, additionally to form data and querystring parameters.

  • Ceres integration will be as an external backend.

  • Compatibility with python 3.

  • Easy to install and configure.

Goals

  • Solid codebase. Good test coverage.

  • Ease of installation/use/configuration.

  • Compatibility with the original Graphite-web API and 3rd-party dashboards.

Non-goals

  • Support for very old Python versions

  • Built-in support for every metric storage system in the world. Whisper is included by default, other storages are added via 3rd-party backends.

Documentation

Hacking
