[coredump <jose.junior@xxxxxxxxx>]

coredump has proposed merging lp:~jose-junior/graphite/doc-changes into lp:graphite.

Requested reviews:
  graphite-dev (graphite-dev)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~jose-junior/graphite/doc-changes/+merge/92653

Those two changes only organize the docs/tools.rst in a semi-alphabetic way (all the tools named graph* kinda messes it up) and adds the HoardD tool description. Disclaimer: I am the author or HoardD.

 Tools That Work With Graphite
 =============================
 
-Diamond
--------
-`Diamond`_ is a Python daemon that collects system metrics and publishes them to Graphite. It is
-capable of collecting cpu, memory, network, I/O, load and disk metrics. Additionally, it features
-an API for implementing custom collectors for gathering metrics from almost any source.
-
-
-jmxtrans
---------
-`jmxtrans`_ is a powerful tool that performs JMX queries to collect metrics from Java applications.
-It is requires very little configuration and is capable of sending metric data to several
-backend applications, including Graphite.
-
-
-statsd
-------
-`statsd`_ is a simple daemon for easy stats aggregation, developed by the folks at Etsy.
-A list of forks and alternative implementations can be found at <http://joemiller.me/2011/09/21/list-of-statsd-server-implementations/>
-

-Ganglia
--------
-`Ganglia`_ is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems
-such as clusters and Grids. It collects system performance metrics and stores them in RRD,
-but now there is an
-`add-on <https://github.com/ganglia/ganglia_contrib/tree/master/graphite_integration/>`_
-that allows Ganglia to send metrics directly to Graphite. Further integration work is underway.
+Bucky

-Logster
--------
-`Logster`_ is a utility for reading log files and generating metrics in Graphite or Ganglia.
-It is ideal for visualizing trends of events that are occurring in your application/system/error
-logs. For example, you might use logster to graph the number of occurrences of HTTP response
-code that appears in your web server logs.

-Rocksteady

-`Rocksteady`_ is a system that ties together Graphite, `RabbitMQ`_, and `Esper`_. Developed by
-AdMob (who was then bought by Google), this was released by Google as open source
