+### Graphite <a id="addons-graphing-graphite"></a>
+
+[Graphite](https://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) is a time-series database
+storing collected metrics and making them available through restful apis
+and web interfaces.
+
+Graphite consists of 3 software components:
+
+* carbon -- a Twisted daemon that listens for time-series data
+* whisper -- a simple database library for storing time-series data (similar in design to RRD)
+* graphite webapp -- a Django webapp that renders graphs on-demand using Cairo
+
+You need to install Graphite first, then proceed with configuring it in Icinga 2.
+
+Use the [GraphiteWriter](14-features.md#graphite-carbon-cache-writer) feature
+for sending real-time metrics from Icinga 2 to Graphite.
+
+    # icinga2 feature enable graphite
+
+A popular alternative frontend for Graphite is for example [Grafana](https://grafana.org).
+
+Integration in Icinga Web 2 is possible by installing the official [graphite module](https://icinga.com/docs/graphite/latest/).
