## What it is
Diamond is a Python daemon that collects system and service metrics from servers and publishes them to monitoring backends such as Graphite, StatsD, and others via a pluggable collector architecture. This repository has moved; development continues at python-diamond/Diamond.

## Use cases
- collect cpu memory and disk metrics from linux servers
- ship server metrics to graphite
- monitor many hosts with a lightweight metrics agent
- write custom collectors for application metrics
- replace collectd with a python-based agent
- feed statsd metrics from servers

## When to choose
- you need a configurable, plugin-based metrics collection daemon in Python
- your monitoring stack consumes Graphite or StatsD metrics
- you want community collectors for many services and hardware

## When to avoid
- you need a modern agent with native Prometheus support
- you want actively maintained tooling - use the successor repo python-diamond/Diamond or alternatives like Telegraf
- you need Windows-first metrics collection

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, agent-framework
- domain: monitoring
- platform: python, self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: metrics-agent, statsd, graphite, collectd-alternative, daemon, time-series, moved-project, metrics-collection, devops, data-engineering, linux
