As of August 2023, Grafana is no longer maintaining this repository. Our primary compatibility with Graphite is provided by carbonapi, using Mimir as our backing database.

Introduction

Grafana Metrictank is a multi-tenant timeseries platform that can be used as a backend or replacement for Graphite. It provides long term storage, high availability, efficient storage, retrieval and processing for large scale environments.

Grafana Labs has been running Metrictank in production since December 2015. It currently requires an external datastore like Cassandra or Bigtable, and we highly recommend using Kafka to support clustering, as well as a clustering manager like Kubernetes. This makes it non-trivial to operate, though Grafana Labs has an on-premise product that makes this process much easier.

There's 2 main ways to deploy Metrictank:
