New question #219215 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/219215

At my workplace, we're looking into switching to Graphite (OpenTSDB is currently the other contender).

Currently Graphite has a way better front-end and quite a few of our existing bits and pieces integrate with it. That being said, we're a bit worried about Whisper performance.

On our current main RRD-server has (=struggle hard with) just over 150k metrics every 10 seconds (≃ 1 million metrics/minute). As the highest public numbers I can find about Whisper performance is "few hundred thousand per minute", we are a bit worried about what will happen if we move wholly to Graphite.

I see there's support for federation w. hashing, but I haven't seen that many mentions of it being in production use, which makes me wonder about it's maturity.

We've talked about filling up a beefy server with a few TB's of SSD's in RAID10 - will that have a chance of cutting it?

(I've also looked at hooking the graphite front-end up to OpenTSDB, but I can't figure out where it would be best to hook in, and in fact I can't quite find any documentation on the internals of Graphite/Carbon/Whisper. Any pointers?)
