Graphite is a free open-source software (FOSS) tool that monitors and graphs numeric time-series data such as the performance of computer systems.

Graphite was developed by Orbitz Worldwide, Inc and released as open-source software in 2008.{{cite web |url=http://www.cnet.com/news/orbitz-paves-the-way-to-enterprise-open-source-contributions/ |title=Orbitz paves the way to enterprise open-source contributions |last=Asay |first=Matt |publisher=CNET |date=2008-06-27 |accessdate=2016-06-29 }}

Graphite collects, stores, and displays time-series data in real time.

The tool has three main 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 library.

Graphite is used in production by companies such as Ford Motor Company, Booking.com, GitHub, Etsy, The Washington Post and Electronic Arts.{{cite book |last=Dixon |first1=Jason |title=Monitoring with Graphite |publisher=O'Reilly Media |year=2014 |isbn=978-1491916438 }}
