Description

This cookbook provides two resources and providers to install and configure Graphite Carbon {Cache:Relay} under virtualenv. Currently supported resources:

• Carbon Relay (relay)
• Carbon Cache (cache)

Requirements

1. Ubuntu 12.04 Has been tested, other versions may work.
2. Python Provides virtualenv support and the pip provider
3. graphite Installs the Graphite Web Service to display Metrics stored by Carbon Cache

Recipes

default.rb

The default recipe does absolutely nothing. It is not intended to do anything

Usage

This is the most basic example you are not limited by this example.

cd chef-repo/cookbooks
git submodule add git://github.com/damm/carbon.git
git submodule add git://github.com/damm/graphite.git
COOKBOOK=graphite_infra rake new_cookbook

• The cookbook named graphite_infra must depend on the carbon cookbook.

carbon_install "stable" do
  action :git
end
carbon_cache "carbon-a" do
action :create
cpu_affinity 1
init_style "runit"
storage_aggregation({:min => { :pattern => "\.min$", :xfilesfactor => "0.1", :aggregationmethod => "min" }, :max => { :pattern => "\.max$", :xfilesfactor => "0.1", :aggregationmethod => "max" }, :sum => { :pattern => "\.count$", :xfilesfactor => "0", :aggregationmethod => "sum" }, :default_average => { :pattern => ".*", :xfilesfactor => "0.5", :aggregationmethod => "average"}})
end
