+The C<write_graphite> plugin writes data to I<Graphite>, an open-source metrics
+storage and graphing project. The plugin connects to I<Carbon>, the data layer
+of I<Graphite>, and sends data via the "line based" protocol (per default using
+portE<nbsp>2003). The data will be sent in blocks of at most 1428 bytes to
+minimize the number of network packets.
