Specifically, it is designed to handle numeric time-series data. For example, Graphite would be good at graphing stock prices because they are numbers that change over time. However Graphite is a complex system, and if you only have a few hundred distinct things you want to graph (stocks prices in the S&amp;P 500) then Graphite is probably overkill. But if you need to graph a lot of different things (like dozens of performance metrics from thousands of servers) and you don&#8217;t necessarily know the names of those things in advance (who wants to maintain such huge configuration?) then Graphite is for you.<br \/>    (categories:  <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/ajohnson1200\/python\">python<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/ajohnson1200\/graphing\">graphing<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/ajohnson1200\/monitoring\">monitoring<\/a> )\n<p\/><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.43folders.com\/2010\/02\/05\/first-care\">First, care. | 43 Folders<\/a><br \/>      Quotes: &quot;Anonymous asked: &#8216;How do you maintain focus (on work, dreams, goals, life)?&#8217; &#8211;&gt; You do one thing at a time.&quot; and &quot;Before you sweat the logistics of focus: first, care.
