Diamond is a python daemon that collects system metrics and publishes them to [Graphite](handlers/GraphiteHandler.md) (and others).

It is capable of collecting cpu, memory, network, i/o, load and disk metrics.

Additionally, it features an API for implementing custom collectors for gathering metrics from almost any source.

## Getting Started

Steps to getting started:

  * Read the [documentation](http://diamond.readthedocs.org)

  * Install via `pip install diamond`.

    The releases on GitHub are not recommended for use.

    Use `pypi-install diamond` on Debian/Ubuntu systems with python-stdeb installed to build packages.

  * Copy the `diamond.conf.example` file to `diamond.conf`.

  * Optional: Run `diamond-setup` to help set collectors in `diamond.conf`.

  * Modify `diamond.conf` for your needs.

  * Run diamond with one of: `diamond` or `initctl start diamond` or `/etc/init.d/diamond restart`.

## Success Stories

 * Diamond has successfully been deployed to a cluster of 1000 machines pushing [3 million points per minute](https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/178969).

 * Diamond is deployed on [Fabric's](https://get.fabric.io/) infrastructure, polling hundreds of metric sources and pushing millions of points per minute.

 * **Have a story? Please share!**

## Repos

Historically Diamond was a brightcove project and hosted at [BrightcoveOS](https://github.com/brightcoveos/Diamond).

However none of the active developers are brightcove employees and so the development

has moved to [python-diamond](https://github.com/python-diamond/Diamond). We request

that any new pull requests and issues be cut against python-diamond. We will keep

BrightcoveOS updated and still honor issues/tickets cut on that repo.
