CarbonZipper is the central part of a replacement graphite storage stack. It proxies requests from graphite-web to a cluster of carbon storage backends. Previous versions (available in the git history) were able to talk to python carbon stores, but the current version requires the use of carbonserver.

Configuration is done via a JSON file loaded at startup. The only required field is the list of carbonserver backends to connect to.

Other pieces of the stack are:

• carbonapi
• carbonmem
• carbonsearch

0.60 (WIP)

• BREAKING CHANGE Carbonzipper backend protocol changed to protobuf3. Though output for /render, /info /find can be both (format=protobuf3 for protobuf3, format=protobuf for protobuf2)
