Hey there,  
I would like to send data to Graphite, which I'm using inside Grafana.  
How is that possible?  
Thanks!

Hi,

You realize that this is the Node-RED forum, right?

Some people on this forum use Grafana (myself included) but an even smaller sub-set would use Graphite...

Is there a more-focused forum you could ask this question of?

Cheers,

Paul

It is surprising that there does not seem to be a node for sending data to graphite from node-red, in the same way that there are influxdb nodes. Most here use Influxdb it seems.

Hi Colin, oh okay! I really hoped that there will be some kind of node for that or some sort of method I could use! Thanks,

And Paul, I want to send data from NODE-RED so...

There is a nodejs package which seems very simple so could be used from a function node.

> **[graphite](https://www.npmjs.com/package/graphite)**

> A node.js client for graphite.
