A presentation on building a replacement for Graphite with Riemann, InfluxDB and Grafana

Quite controversial presentation IMO:

CAT Graphite replacement lightning talk from nickchappell

Yep, Clojure is cool, JVM has threads, it's nice, InfluxDB rules - but why we need Rieman then?

We can use cyanite - then we got Clojure, JVM and Cassandra for storage or graphite-influxdb - then we got InfluxDB and who cares about threads and Python GIL then?
Maybe Logstash / Heka integration is cool idea but you can do it with Graphite too...

Couple of intresting tools

Couple of intresting links below -

1. Logstash - http://logstash.net/ - Powerfull log processor. Takes logs from many sources, applies many filters and provides output. One of many outputs can be ElasticSearch-cluster, with fancy webfrontend for searching, also many plugins exists (for amqp, greylog2, graphite, etc). This tool is similar to Splunk, maybe it's not cool as Splunk is - but for free (Splunk price is not for fainted of heart).
2. Varnish Book - "From creators of Varnish". :) PDF and epub will be soon.
