In addition to this helpful guide, note that statsd / graphite both spring some unfortunate surprises on new users, e.g., graphite changing your data across retention rates and time scales [0], graphite changing your data at different plot widths (?!) [1], statsd believing that only count and time data deserve to be aggregated [2], etc.
I have no alternative to suggest, however. Perhaps Cube [3], but unclear if it has any user community.
