Graphite is a carbon agent that can be found in various products, including batteries, electric motor brushes, and paint. It has a variety of specialized uses and qualities, and can be found in a wide variety of tones. Its use as a radar absorbent has been documented for at least three different applications. In WWII, it was used in rubber-coated U-boat snorkels and as a coating on the early F-117 stealth fighter.
Graphite is highly flexible. It scales both on the backend and frontend, so you can add more machines as needed to expand throughput. It is also fault-tolerant, meaning if one backend machine crashes, your system will not be affected significantly. As long as you have sufficient capacity, Graphite will keep your data safe.
Graphite also comes with an additional tool called carbon-relay. This tool receives metrics from clients and applies a set of rules to them. These rules are based on the type of data that is sent to it by clients. For example, application metrics can go to a single carbon server, while business metrics may go to multiple servers.
Because carbon is inefficient and cpu-bound, it is often recommended to run more than one carbon agent on a single CPU to avoid performance issues. Also, it is recommended to use SSD drives for graphite to avoid CPU-bound operations.
