Sending Graphite metrics to Grafana Cloud

Estimated time: 1 min

Graphite to Grafana Cloud

Grafana Cloud includes a hosted Graphite service, so you can send Graphite metrics directly without converting them. Teams running Graphite use it to store their metrics in Grafana Cloud.

Graphite to Grafana Cloud options

The recommended way to send Graphite metrics to Grafana Cloud is carbon-relay-ng.

  • Streams plain-text carbon (Graphite) input directly to Grafana Cloud, with no format conversion.
  • Metrics land in your stack’s hosted Graphite backend, queried through a pre-provisioned Graphite data source.
  • You can also send metrics to the hosted Graphite HTTP API directly.
