Question #177446 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/177446

    Status: Open => Answered

chrismd proposed the following answer:
Graphite was designed for convenience not security, there are numerous
ways to denial-of-service Graphite if that is one's intent. I highly
recommend against directly exposing Graphite to untrusted users. A safe
alternative if you want to expose dashboards publicly would be to use a
cronjob to wget the images from graphite and save them as static content
that gets used by some separate html dashboard served by a public facing
web server.
