It provides a simple interface to send individual metrics, batches of metrics as dictionaries or lists, and supports customizable metric naming via prefixes, groups, and system names. Metrics are timestamped and formatted according to Graphite's plaintext protocol before transmission over TCP or UDP.\n\nThe package has no external runtime dependencies and is designed for systems that already run Graphite. However, the project has been abandoned since 2017 and is no longer maintained by its original author. The maintainer explicitly notes in the documentation that a collaborator has forked and maintains the project elsewhere. This makes it a poor choice for new projects unless you have specific reasons to use this exact version.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned and unmaintained since 2017. The original author explicitly recommends a maintained fork instead. While it has no known vulnerabilities and no external dependencies, the lack of maintenance makes it unsuitable for new projects. Consider using an actively maintained Graphite client instead."},"id":"graphitesend","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/graphitesend","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/graphitesend.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/graphitesend/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-03-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"graphitesend","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A simple interface for sending metrics to Graphite"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":128955,"position":11689,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.10.0"}
