https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/212833

    Status: Open => Answered

Daniel Lawrence proposed the following answer:
If the metric is literally "DTRACE", No
 not graphite accept a float as the metric type not a string.

If you want to use Dtrace to generate metrics that then get sent to
graphite, Yes


#!/bin/bash
# Example DTrace/Graphite Integration
# Ben Rockwood 

export HOSTNAME=`hostname`
export GRAPHITE_SERVER="10.0.0.22";

/usr/sbin/dtrace -n '

#pragma D option destructive
#pragma D option quiet

BEGIN
{
        mycounter = 0;
}

syscall::read:entry
{
        mycounter++;
}

tick-1sec
{
         system("echo \"dtrace.$HOSTNAME.syscall.read.entry %d %d\" | nc $GRAPHITE_SERVER 2003 ",
                     mycounter, walltimestamp / 1000000000);
        mycounter = 0;
}
'
