Or rather InfluxDB + Grafana.

Grafana is more mature and Chronograf is closed-source, I don't see any reason to go with it.

But yes if you want to display time series there are better options than Kibana, which has a focus on searchable documents.

Elastic.co is trying to get into that business. A time series datapoint is just a very small document, and they're churning out agents that collect and ship it.

I'm not entirely sold on the idea, as their examples for turning metrics into actionable insights are a lot more complex than they are for Grafana (or similar).

(Hi! I'm the original author!) I'm able to get about 200ms resolution at both ends without any trouble.
