Carbon refers to the daemons listening for Graphite events.
From the Graphite Carbon documentation
When we talk about “Carbon” we mean one or more of various daemons that make up the storage backend of a Graphite installation. All of the carbon daemons listen for time-series data and can accept it over a common set of protocols. However, they differ in what they do with the data once they receive it.
