Blueflood Description
Blueflood, a distributed metric processing system that is high throughput and low latency for multi-tenant multi-tenants, is behind Rackspace Metrics. It is currently being used in production by Rackspace Monitoring team as well as Rackspace public cloud team to store metrics created by their systems. Blueflood is also used in large-scale Rackspace deployments. Blueflood data can be used to create dashboards, reports, graphs, or any other use that involves time-series information. It is focused on near-realtime data and data that can be queryable within milliseconds of ingestion. You send metrics to ingestion service. The Query service allows you to query your metrics. Rollups are processed offline in the background so that queries with long time periods are quickly returned.
