WhisperCtl

A tool for managing Whisper databases used in Graphite.

This script serves as a wrapper for the whisper-*.py scripts in the whisper package. Additionally, it can index and search Graphite metrics with regular expressions using the -e option flag or with wildcard completion.

The xff command allows for changing the xFilesFactor of metrics without having to reiterate the retention levels as whisper-resize.py requires.

Setup

Recommended installation of WhisperCtl within a virtualenv:

pip install whisperctl

Run

usage: whisperctl [-h] [-e] COMMAND [METRIC] [PARAM [PARAM ...]]

positional arguments:
  COMMAND
  METRIC
  PARAM

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -e          METRIC is a regex
  
Examples:
whisperctl xff carbon.*.counters.* 0.0
whisperctl agg carbon.*.timers.*.count sum
whisperctl -e search '.*'
