Graphite / StatsD / Grafana with Docker

This project contains 2 docker images

• [Graphite] (https://github.com/Ennexa/docker-graphite/tree/master/graphite)
• [StatsD] (https://github.com/Ennexa/docker-graphite/tree/master/statsd)

Setup

Start Graphite

mkdir -p /data/graphite
docker run -ti -d --name graphite -v /data/graphite:/opt/graphite/storage/whisper -p 8000:8000 ennexa/graphite

Start StatsD

docker run -ti -d --name statsd -P --link graphite:graphite ennexa/statsd

Start Grafana

docker run -ti -d --name grafana -p 3000:3000 --link graphite:graphite grafana/grafana

Go to http://yourhostname:3000 and login with username/password admin/admin

Exposing the port 8000 might make the graphite end point accessible to public. If you are planning to access graphite only from the grafana container, you can skip publishing the port. Instead, when creating the data source in Grafana admin page use http://graphite:8000 as the data source url and select proxy as the access method.

Using docker-compose

See the docker-compose.yml file for an example configuration for use with docker-compose

sudo pip install -U docker-compose
git clone https://github.com/ennexa/docker-graphite
cd docker-graphite
docker-compose up -d

Grafana

• Interface: http://yourhostname:3000
• Login: admin/admin

Notes

In a production environment it would be a good idea to mount in a separate volume for data in to the /data as a mount point so that if the OS runs out of space the volume can be attached somewhere else.

You may need to run the script with sudo if the /data volume has restricted permissions.
