I found a interest tool, Graphite when I was exploring https://github.com/etsy .(Screen Shots of Graphite.)
Carbon is a backend storage application for Graphite.
# wget http://launchpad.net/graphite/1.0/0.9.8/+download/carbon-0.9.8.tar.gz
# tar zxvf carbon-0.9.8.tar.gz
# pushd carbon-0.9.8
# python setup.py install
# popd
Whisper is an alternate to RRD.
# wget http://launchpad.net/graphite/1.0/0.9.8/+download/whisper-0.9.8.tar.gz
# tar zxvf whisper-0.9.8.tar.gz
# pushd whisper-0.9.8
# python setup.py install
# popd
# wget http://launchpad.net/graphite/1.0/0.9.8/+download/graphite-web-0.9.8.tar.gz
# tar zxvf graphite-web-0.9.8.tar.gz
# pushd graphite-web-0.9.8
Run check-dependencies.py.
# ./check-dependencies.py
[FATAL] Unable to import the 'cairo' module, do you have pycairo installed for python 2.6.5?
[FATAL] Unable to import the 'django' module, do you have Django installed for python 2.6.5?
[WARNING] Unable to import the 'mod_python' module, do you have mod_python installed for python 2.6.5?
This means you will only be able to run graphite in the development server mode, which is not
recommended for production use.
[WARNING]
Unable to import the 'memcache' module, do you have python-memcached installed for python 2.6.5?
This feature is not required but greatly improves performance.
[WARNING]
Unable to import the 'ldap' module, do you have python-ldap installed for python 2.6.5?
Without python-ldap, you will not be able to use LDAP authentication in the graphite webapp.
[WARNING]
Unable to import the 'twisted' package, do you have Twisted installed for python 2.6.5?
Without Twisted, you cannot run carbon on this server.
[WARNING]
Unable to import the 'txamqp' module, this is required if you want to use AMQP.
Note that txamqp requires python 2.5 or greater.
2 necessary dependencies not met. Graphite will not function until these dependencies are fulfilled.
5 optional dependencies not met. Please consider the warning messages before proceeding.
I use a development server included in Graphite, so mod_python is not needed.
Install packages other than mod_python.
# yum install pycairo
# rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
# yum install Django python-twisted python-memcached python-ldap
# yum install python-setuptools gcc python-devel
# easy_install txamqp
You need bitmap fonts, so intall it.
# yum install bitmap-console-fonts
Install Graphite and setup it.
# python setup.py install
# python /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/manage.py syncdb
# pushd /opt/graphite/conf
# cp carbon.conf.example carbon.conf
# cp storage-schemas.conf.example storage-schemas.conf
# cp dashboard.conf.example dashboard.conf
Edit dashborad.conf and uncomment these.

default_graph_width = 400
default_graph_height = 250
automatic_variants = true
refresh_interval = 60
Start Carbon.
# /opt/graphite/bin/carbon-cache.py start
Start example-client included in Graphite source code to send load average data to Carbon.
# popd
# python ./examples/example-client.py
Start a develepment server of Graphite.
# /opt/graphite/bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py /opt/graphite
Access to port 8080 of this server and you'll see the screen of Graphite.
