#12What does a modern metrics stack look like? There are so many words... Graphfana, Kibana, StatsD, Graphite, etc. Which bits should I choose and attach together?

I've got to advise against Kibana/Elasticsearch until the company gets more mature. I was 100% on board with them up until the redesign.
Not so much for the design (oh look it's white instead of black, who cares), but the way they've handled it subsequently.
The 3.x -> 4.x transition for Kibana left a product that was missing really basic features (like, the ability to set graph colors for one - a bug/feature request that's been open since last january).
As it stands, upgrading from Kibana 3 to Kibana 4 is a step backwards. You lose functionality rather than gaining it.
They also decided to require a major version bump to Elasticsearch (to 2.x) with a point release of Kibana.
I used to be super optimistic about the Elastic guys, but some of these decisions are just head-scratchingly awful.

#15Obligatory response from Graphite contributor and author Jason Dixon who is shouted out in the vividcortex intro.

Personal response:
I've used Graphite, OpenTSDB, Ganglia, Cacti, and a bunch more solutions. Recently, work transitioned from OpenTSDB to a hosted solution from a startup called Wavefront.
This has been a smash hit.
Scale matters. If you are a small shop, and can workaround the atrocious UI shortcomings of Graphite by all means, go for it. As you start to get larger, OpenTSDB looks attractive. We went too far down that path but were able to quickly (< 3 months) transition over to Wavefront and haven't looked back.

Agreed. I clicked because I was curious why people stopped liking the carbon form.

#17I've been in search of a good time-series database solution for some time now, and have pretty much given up on it and am in the process of rolling my own: https://github.com/grisha/timeriver My issues with the present state of TS isn't the volume. I was looking for using TS outside of the DevOps world. Everyday things like your heart rate over time, price of gas at the nearest station, number of people in line at yo…
I highly recommend looking at Keogh's work, particularly the iSAX and iSAX2 stuff: http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/SAX.htm
While it is used for machine learning, it actually makes a lot of sense to follow a similar approach for more general time series applications.

It is kind of amazing how hard it is for existing time series database systems to track the changing needs of the marketplace.

I also thought this was the physical substance graphite.

I had assumed it was this Graphite: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=projects... , probably because I'm a font and writing systems geek.
