If you’re reading this, it probably doesn’t make sense to explain to you what patch management automation or automated patch management is.

Graphite Metrics Delay: Why it Happens and What to Do

To understand why Graphite metrics delay occurs, we must first know what Graphite is. Graphite is an open-source tool used to track the performance of websites, applications, and network servers. It makes it simple to monitor, store, retrieve, and visualize numeric time-series data. While Graphite does make it easier to render graphs on-demand, the struggle of dealing with large amounts of data with minimum delay is real.
