graphite chef cookbook

Installs/Configures graphite

Overview

Installs and configures Graphite

recipe[graphite] should build a stand-alone Graphite installation.

recipe[graphite::ganglia] integrates with Ganglia. You'll want at least one
monitor node (i.e. recipe[ganglia]) node to be running to use it.

CAVEATS:

I didn't see an easy way to set Graphite's credentials easily. I set those to
root/root with an email address going no where.

Ships with two default schemas, stats.* (for Etsy's statsd) and a catchall that
matches anything. The catchall retains minutely data for 13 months, as in the
default config. stats retains data every 10 seconds for 6 hours, every minute
for a week, and every 10 minutes for 5 years.
