Question: is there a ready-made visual front end for data?

Just wondering if you have any visual frontends for this data, or ways that are good at pulling this in?

thanks in advance,
Paul

Hi @paul42, not provided by the metrics library itself. What I do is use GraphiteReporter to send metrics to a graphite instance and then use Grafana to provide a visual front end to my metrics. It works really well and provides some nice visualizations.

Closing but feel free to reopen if you'd like more details on that 👍

nope, pretty well explained! do you off the top of your head recommend a service for hosting graphite, or do you usually just spin up a vm on aws or the like and host it there? Thanks again!

Apologies for the late reply, didn't notice your response until now! I would recommend self-hosting in your environment as it isn't too bad to run a graphite instance. Things start becoming complex when you need to scale graphite out or need high availability. I've never gotten to that point (in past I have fired up a larger instance whenever things get rough) so don't have a good recommendation for a hosted graphite solution.
