A common approach is to use the API rather than attempt to interact with
whisper directly. One possibly unanticipated issue with attempting to use
Whisper directly is that carbon-cache will often have metrics held in
memory for a while before batching them up and writing them out to disk,
making the files on disk not contain the metrics you were hoping to
interact until potentially long after you wanted to interact them (eg, a
monitor tool wants the most-up-to-date information).

Here's a stripped down version of graphite-web that you can run that only
has the API: https://github.com/brutasse/graphite-api

Finally, if you want to alert on streams of metrics in real time, I might
advocate using a tool like Riemann (and funneling the metrics to Graphite)
- http://riemann.io/ (This is totally orthogonal to your original question,
but I think worth including)
