[rdo-dev] Graphite and Grafana in RDO-Cloud

[David Moreau Simard]

There are already plans [1] to add the software factory implementation of
Grafana on review.rdoproject.org, you can see what it looks like on
softwarefactory-project.io [2].

The backend to this grafana implementation is currently influxdb, not
graphite.
However, there are ongoing discussions to either both graphite and influxdb
simultaneously or optionally either.

We're interested in leveraging this influxdb (or graphite) and grafana
implementation for monitoring data in general (uptime, resources, disk
space, load, etc.) so our goals align here.
We both agree that using graphite would be a plus in order to re-use the
same queries in the grafana dashboard but at the same time, influxdb is
more "modern" and easier to work with -- this is why we might end up
deploying both, we'll see.
