================== The Render URL API

The graphite webapp provides a /render endpoint for generating graphs and retrieving raw data. This endpoint accepts various arguments via query string parameters. These parameters are separated by an ampersand (&) and are supplied in the format:

.. code-block:: none

&name=value

To verify that the api is running and able to generate images, open http://GRAPHITE_HOST:GRAPHITE_PORT/render in a browser. The api should return a simple 330x250 image with the text "No Data".

Once the api is running and you've begun :doc:feeding data into carbon </feeding-carbon>, use the parameters below to customize your graphs and pull out raw data. For example:

.. code-block:: none

single server load on large graph

http://graphite/render?target=server.web1.load&height=800&width=600

average load across web machines over last 12 hours

http://graphite/render?target=averageSeries(server.web*.load)&from=-12hours

number of registered users over past day as raw json data

http://graphite/render?target=app.numUsers&format=json

rate of new signups per minute

http://graphite/render?target=summarize(derivative(app.numUsers),"1min")&title=New_Users_Per_Minute

.. note::

Most of the functions and parameters are case sensitive. For example &linewidth=2 will fail silently. The correct parameter in this case is &lineWidth=2

Graphing Metrics

To begin graphing specific metrics, pass one or more target_ parameters and specify a time window for the graph via from / until_.

target

The target parameter specifies a path identifying one or several metrics, optionally with functions acting on those metrics. Paths are documented below, while functions are listed on the :doc:functions page.

.. _paths-and-wildcards:

Paths and Wildcards ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Metric paths show the "." separated path from the root of the metrics tree (often starting with servers) to a metric, for example servers.ix02ehssvc04v.cpu.total.user.

Paths also support the following wildcards, which allows you to identify more than one metric in a single path.

Asterisk The asterisk (*) matches zero or more characters. It is non-greedy, so you can have more than one within a single path element.

Example: servers.ix*ehssvc*v.cpu.total.* will return all total CPU metrics for all servers matching the given name pattern.

Character list or range Characters in square brackets ([...]) specify a single character position in the path string, and match if the character in that position matches one of the characters in the list or range.

A character range is indicated by 2 characters separated by a dash (-), and means that any character between those 2 characters (inclusive) will match. More than one range can be included within the square brackets, e.g. foo[a-z0-9]bar will match foopbar, foo7bar etc..

If the characters cannot be read as a range, they are treated as a list - any character in the list will match, e.g. foo[bc]ar will match foobar and foocar. If you want to include a dash (-) in your list, put it at the beginning or end, so it's not interpreted as a range.

Value list Comma-separated values within curly braces ({foo,bar,...}) are treated as value lists, and match if any of the values matches the current point in the path. For example, servers.ix01ehssvc04v.cpu.total.{user,system,iowait} will match the user, system and I/O wait total CPU metrics for the specified server.

.. note:: All wildcards apply only within a single path element. In other words, they do not include or cross dots (.). Therefore, servers.* will not match servers.ix02ehssvc04v.cpu.total.user, while servers.*.*.*.* will.

Tagged Series ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When querying tagged series, we start with the seriesByTag <functions.html#graphite.render.functions.seriesByTag>_ function:

.. code-block:: none

# find all series that have tag1 set to value1
seriesByTag('tag1=value1')

See :ref:querying tagged series <querying-tagged-series> for more detail on using seriesByTag <functions.html#graphite.render.functions.seriesByTag>_.

Examples ^^^^^^^^

This will draw one or more metrics

Example:

.. code-block:: none

&target=company.server05.applicationInstance04.requestsHandled (draws one metric)

Let's say there are 4 identical application instances running on each server.

.. code-block:: none

&target=company.server05.applicationInstance*.requestsHandled (draws 4 metrics / lines)

Now let's say you have 10 servers.

.. code-block:: none

&target=company.server*.applicationInstance*.requestsHandled (draws 40 metrics / lines)

You can also run any number of :doc:functions </functions> on the various metrics before graphing.

.. code-block:: none

&target=averageSeries(company.server*.applicationInstance.requestsHandled) (draws 1 aggregate line)

Multiple function calls can be chained together either by nesting them or by piping the result into another function (it will be passed to the piped function as its first parameter):

.. code-block:: none

&target=movingAverage(aliasByNode(company.server*.applicationInstance.requestsHandled,1),"5min") &target=aliasByNode(company.server*.applicationInstance.requestsHandled,1)|movingAverage("5min") &target=company.server*.applicationInstance.requestsHandled|aliasByNode(1)|movingAverage("5min") &target=movingAverage(company.server*.applicationInstance.requestsHandled|aliasByNode(1),"5min") (these are all equivalent)

The target param can also be repeated to graph multiple related metrics.

.. code-block:: none

&target=company.server1.loadAvg&target=company.server1.memUsage

.. note:: If more than 10 metrics are drawn the legend is no longer displayed. See the hideLegend_ parameter for details.

from / until

These are optional parameters that specify the relative or absolute time period to graph. from specifies the beginning, until specifies the end. If from is omitted, it defaults to 24 hours ago. If until is omitted, it defaults to the current time (now).

There are multiple formats for these functions:

.. code-block:: none

&from=-RELATIVE_TIME &from=ABSOLUTE_TIME

RELATIVE_TIME is a length of time since the current time. It is always preceded by a minus sign ( - ) and followed by a unit of time. Valid units of time:

============== =============== Abbreviation Unit ============== =============== s Seconds min Minutes h Hours d Days w Weeks mon 30 Days (month) y 365 Days (year) ============== ===============

ABSOLUTE_TIME is in the format HH:MM_YYYYMMDD, YYYYMMDD, MM/DD/YY, or any other at(1)-compatible time format.

============= ======= Abbreviation Meaning ============= ======= HH Hours, in 24h clock format. Times before 12PM must include leading zeroes. MM Minutes YYYY 4 Digit Year. MM Numeric month representation with leading zero DD Day of month with leading zero ============= =======

&from and &until can mix absolute and relative time if desired.

Examples:

.. code-block:: none

&from=-8d&until=-7d (shows same day last week)

&from=04:00_20110501&until=16:00_20110501 (shows 4AM-4PM on May 1st, 2011)

&from=20091201&until=20091231 (shows December 2009)

&from=noon+yesterday (shows data since 12:00pm on the previous day)

&from=6pm+today (shows data since 6:00pm on the same day)

&from=january+1 (shows data since the beginning of the current year)

&from=monday (show data since the previous monday)

template

The target metrics can use a special template function which allows the metric paths to contain variables. Values for these variables can be provided via the template query parameter.

Examples ^^^^^^^^

Example:

.. code-block:: none

&target=template(hosts.$hostname.cpu)&template[hostname]=worker1

Default values for the template variables can also be provided:

.. code-block:: none

&target=template(hosts.$hostname.cpu, hostname="worker1")

Positional arguments can be used instead of named ones:

.. code-block:: none

&target=template(hosts.$1.cpu, "worker1") &target=template(hosts.$1.cpu, "worker1")&template[1]=worker*

In addition to path substitution, variables can be used for numeric and string literals:

.. code-block:: none

&target=template(constantLine($number))&template[number]=123 &target=template(sinFunction($name))&template[name]=nameOfMySineWaveMetric

Data Display Formats

Along with rendering an image, the api can also generate SVG <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/>_ with embedded metadata, PDF, or return the raw data in various formats for external graphing, analysis or monitoring.

minXStep

Default: 1

Sets the minimum pixel-step to use between datapoints drawn. Any value below this will trigger a point consolidation of the series at render time. The default value of 1 combined with the default lineWidth of 1.2 will cause a minimal amount of line overlap between close-together points. To disable render-time point consolidation entirely, set this to 0 though note that series with more points than there are pixels in the graph area (e.g. a few month's worth of per-minute data) will look very 'smooshed' as there will be a good deal of line overlap. In response, one may use lineWidth_ to compensate for this.
