The project is written in Go and React and its README positions it as a monitoring and visualization interface for InfluxDB, Telegraf, and Kapacitor workflows. Chronograf became the user-facing component of the TICK stack: Telegraf collects metrics, InfluxDB stores time-series data, Chronograf provides exploration and dashboards, and Kapacitor handles alerting and automation. ### Adoption history InfluxData's documentation describes Chronograf as the TICK stack UI and provides official packages for macOS tarballs, Debian packages, and RPM-based systems. The supplied package facts also show Homebrew, Scoop, and winget distribution. ### How it is used Typical use starts the chronograf service, opens localhost:8888, connects to InfluxDB, and optionally connects Kapacitor. Chronograf can use canned dashboards for Telegraf input plugins, create custom dashboards, explore data, manage users and queries, and configure OAuth or TLS. ### Why package nerds care Chronograf matters to package people because it is a packaged web application that sits beside CLI daemons in the TICK stack. Its formula/package history reflects the era when observability stacks were often installed locally as coordinated OS packages rather than only consumed as hosted services. ### Timeline - 2016: GitHub repository created. - 2016: v1.1-alpha noted in the changelog. - 2017: 1.3.x releases continued the 1.x line. - 2022: v1.10.0 added InfluxDB user, role, database, and proxy-related management improvements. - 2026: v1.11.x releases continued maintenance and InfluxDB 3 support. ### Related projects - Related InfluxData projects include InfluxDB, Telegraf, Kapacitor, Flux, InfluxDB Enterprise, and InfluxDB 3. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - formula declares a Homebrew service ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
