title: Kibana 3 Milestone 4 and Graphite Integration
body: <p>I am having difficulties understanding integration of Graphite and Kibana 3 to monitor logs and system vitals. I am referring to figure in <a href="http://rashidkpc.github.io/Kibana/infrastructure.html" rel="noreferrer">Log management system described here</a>. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Considering the new features in Kibana 3 Milestone 4, can we collect system vitals and store it directly into elastic search instead of graphite and use a single kibana dashboard (What could be right choice to implement in a distributed system where emphasis is on performance and low memory foot print)?</li>
  <li>Why must we use StatsD and graphite, when count and simple statistics are now supported by kibana - Elasticsearch combination?</li>
  <li>In case, we decide to use both graphite and kibana, How do we integrate it into a single Dashboard?</li>
  <li>Is there a tutorial to integrate Dashboards (kibana and graphitos/graph explorer/orion/pencil)?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
