Elastic search for system metrics

We are using elastic search for cpu/memory/disk/others And for storing logs too. we are sending collectd to elastic search. now my question is when i read the things on internet people are using graphite+elasticsearch or opentsdb/other software+elasticsearch . Does it mean elastic search can't handle metrics data? And how graphite like software is different from elastic search?

Hi Badal,

We know about this issue, and it is on our Radar. Please check back in a few weeks with me, and I may have a better answer for you.

Sincerely,

Jay
