Cyanite / Graphite-API / Grafana

Sets up various containers to provide a means of storing metrics via graphite into a cassandra instance via cyanite.

This uses cyanite, developed by Pierre-Yves Ritschard and graphite-cyanite/graphite-api developed by Bruno Renié

Description Of The Components

cyanite - cassandra backed carbon daemon and metric web service
graphite-cyanite - A plugin for using graphite-web with the cassandra-based Cyanite storage backend
graphite-api - Graphite-web, without the interface. Just the rendering HTTP API
grafana - An open source, feature rich metrics dashboard and graph editor
cassandra - open source distributed database management system designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure. Used by cyanite to store the graphite data instead of the traditional graphite whisper files.

To build out the project, run the following

sudo -s
./build.sh

Alternatively, there is a Vagrantfile in the directory to build out the servers via vagrant

The grafana dashboard is available at http://localhost

Write metrics via graphite at localhost:2003

Run ./test.sh to generate some test metrics - 1, 5 and 15 minute load averages
