Prometheus is also worth taking a look at. http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/comparison/ *[image: userimage]Scott Larson[image: los angeles] <https://www.google.com/maps/place/4216+Glencoe+Ave,+Marina+Del+Rey,+CA+90292/@33.9892151,-118.4421334,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x80c2ba88ffae914d:0x14e1d00084d4d09c>Lead Systems Administrator[image: wdlogo] <https://www.wiredrive.com/> [image: linkedin] <https://www.linkedin.com/company/wiredrive> [image: facebook] <https://www.twitter.com/wiredrive> [image: twitter] <https://www.facebook.com/wiredrive> [image: instagram] <https://www.instagram.com/wiredrive>T 310 823 8238 x1106 <310%20823%208238%20x1106> | M 310 904 8818 <310%20904%208818>* On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 5:52 PM, Peter Phaal <peter.phaal () gmail com> wrote:

I am investigating the various options for large data set size, lossless long term traffic charting (not RRAs which lose precision over time). One possible use is precision 95th billing. https://collectd.org/Devices that support sFlow natively implement collectd type functionality for streaming interface counters to a time series database (InfluxDB, Graphite, OpenTSB, etc.) Tools like Grafana can be used to query the database and build dashboards. Host sFlow (http://sflow.net) is very similar to collectd in the metrics it exports, but with the added ability to export flow data from host adapters, bridges, vSwitches, firewalls, routing, VMs, containers etc.
