Graphite+Grafana Dashboard

[mddunn]

Customer is interested in an example Graphite+Grafana implementation as they love the Prom+Grafana one but are using Graphite and want to replicate.

Haven't see that much usage of Graphite on the field myself.
Is there a supported way to export JMX to a Graphite backend? Checking this one https://github.com/logzio/jmx2graphite, it piggybacks on Jolokia.

Let us know if there's still interest on this one.

This was requested once, and was able to leverage telegraf to scrape the Jolokia metrics and send them to Graphite.

Input: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/jolokia2
Output: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/outputs/graphite

Jmx2graphite and jmxtrans (https://github.com/jmxtrans/jmxtrans) were also reviewed as possible solutions.

@mddunn Thanks for the links! totally forgot about telegraf 😅.

Would you be interested on contributing the initial pipeline/dashboards for this stack? I'd be happy to help/review it.

[mddunn]

yeah I'd be open to it, my biggest issue is finding time (like all of us)

I'll be sure to let you know when I start to make some progress

@mddunn we have recently added a stack with jolokia2,telegraf and influxdb. I suppose we should only replace influx with graphite to have this done. wdyt?

[mddunn]

@hifly81 I think that would be helpful, but I remember this customer was also interested in true Grafana+Graphite demo. Might be worth having both?

jolokia/telegraf/graphite/grafana?

[mddunn]

Yeah that seems like a valid setup. I think jmxtrans is another popular tool that people use to get JMX metrics into Graphite
