## What it is
Chronograf is an open-source web application (Go backend, React frontend) that serves as the visualization, dashboarding, and administrative UI for the InfluxDB 1.x TICK stack. It provides pre-canned dashboards for Telegraf plugins, a Kapacitor alerting UI with TICKscript editing, and administration of InfluxDB/Kapacitor connections with auth options like GitHub, Google, and Okta.

## Use cases
- visualize influxdb time series data in dashboards
- create alerts for influxdb metrics with kapacitor
- monitor hosts with cpu and load stats
- prebuilt dashboards for telegraf plugins like docker and nginx
- administer influxdb 1.x users and connections
- edit tickscripts for stream and batch processing
- self-hosted monitoring ui for the tick stack

## When to choose
- you run InfluxDB 1.x and Kapacitor and need a UI for dashboards and alerting
- you want pre-canned dashboards for common Telegraf inputs
- you need TICKscript editing and alert history in a web interface

## When to avoid
- you use InfluxDB 2.x or 3.x, which ship their own UI instead
- you need a general-purpose dashboarding tool for non-InfluxDB data sources
- you need active feature development rather than a maintenance-mode component
