## Graphing <a id="addons-graphing"></a>

|
||||
### 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/).

### InfluxDB <a id="addons-graphing-influxdb"></a>
|
||||
|
||||
[InfluxDB](https://influxdb.com) is a time series, metrics, and analytics database.
|
||||
It’s written in Go and has no external dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the [InfluxdbWriter](14-features.md#influxdb-writer) feature
|
||||
for sending real-time metrics from Icinga 2 to InfluxDB.
|
||||
|
||||
# icinga2 feature enable influxdb
|
||||
|
||||
A popular frontend for InfluxDB is for example [Grafana](https://grafana.org).

|
||||
Integration in Icinga Web 2 is possible by installing the community [Grafana module](https://github.com/Mikesch-mp/icingaweb2-module-grafana).

|

By enabling the [DB IDO](14-features.md#db-ido) feature you can use the
|
||||
[Icinga Reporting package](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga1/latest/en/reporting.html).
|
||||
This community module displays host objects as markers on openstreetmap in Icinga Web 2.
|
||||
It uses the data provided by the monitoring module and as such the [DB IDO](14-features.md#db-ido)
|
||||
from Icinga 2.
|
||||
|
||||
If you configure multiple hosts with the same coordinates, i.e. servers in a datacenter, a clustered view is rendered.
|
||||
|
||||
Check the [Map module docs](https://github.com/nbuchwitz/icingaweb2-module-map) for more details on
|
||||
installation, configuration and integration.

### Dashing Dashboard <a id="addons-visualization-dashing-dashboard"></a>
|
||||
|
||||
The [Icinga 2 dashboard](https://github.com/dnsmichi/dashing-icinga2) is built
|
||||
on top of Dashing and uses the [REST API](#icinga2-api) to visualize what's going
|
||||
on with your monitoring. It combines several popular widgets and provides development
|
||||
instructions for your own implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
The dashboard also allows to embed the [Icinga Web 2](https://icinga.com/products/icinga-web-2/)
|
||||
host and service problem lists as Iframe.

Create top-level views of your applications in a graphical editor.
|
||||
Rules express dependencies between existing hosts and services and
|
||||
let you alert on application level. Business processes are displayed
|
||||
in a tree or list overview and can be added to any dashboard.
