| Re: [Philadelphia-pm] Who wants a talk on Graphite? |
Yes, I would be interested. As maybe a point of related interest to others in this thread, I just finished gluing up something less overkill than graphite at work, where we needed to explore a bunch of time series data by a handful of people and discuss the graphs by mail. The interactive zoom and pan of Gnuplot was attractive for diving into a graph for geeks but you can't get that on a web page for non geeks. Matlab is okay but you need a bunch of licenses and Windows and some other issues. We ended up: - stream the data into some MySQL keyed by time, at around a million rows/day - pull it out with a simple Perl with CGI and DBI that does a time constrained query - do some domain math on it - spew a big chunk of HTML and javascript - the JS contains a simple array of data for the query and a callout to http://dygraphs.com to do the graphing dygraphs gives you zoom and pan over simple time series. It also lets you link graphs so that as you zoom and pan one of them, the other graphs follow along. This was great for us to show different attributes on different Y scales at once. You can also just grab a link from the address bar to pass the CGI parameters to friends to stick in mail or wiki.
