I'd like to know if I can send data to Graphite using protobuf.
I have an application that sends statistics in protobuf format and I want to start sending those statistics to Graphite.
I searched in google and I just found this https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/search.html?q=protobuf&check_keywords=yes&area=default# but it's not clear if it's only for graphite internal core usage.
Thanks!
Yes you can, think it is available since version 1.x and up.
See for an example in Python: https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon/blob/master/examples/example-protobuf-client.py
You will have to enable the listener in the Carbon configuration: https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon/blob/master/conf/carbon.conf.example#L113-L117
