> I miss graphite / whisper.

as someone who had to manage a system like this, i certainly don't. it doesn't scale well, it requires way too much upfront design thought (since metrics are stored in arbitrary dirs), and it's a massive pain to install and manage. not to mention, it's barely developed anymore so much needed features (like carbon cache restarts not taking a million years bc of the slow sequential flush to disk) will probably never see the light of day.

for better or worse, the industry moved on. speaking personally, prometheus is so much better than graphite ever was, in every conceivable way.
