Quick Start

You can easily run graphene locally using docker.
This makes it easy to see how data is stored in Elasticsearch and Cassandra.

Docker

Go to https://github.com/graphene-monitoring/graphene-docker
and then do it like belows:

Firstly, run infrastructure docker

$ docker-compose up -d

Second, Create Cassandra keyspace and table for metric data.

$ docker exec -it cassandra /bin/bash
$ cqlsh  
$ CREATE KEYSPACE metric WITH REPLICATION = { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 1 };
$ CREATE TABLE metric.metric (
  period int,
  rollup int,
  tenant text,
  path text,
  time bigint,
  data list<double>,
  PRIMARY KEY ((tenant, period, rollup, path), time)
) WITH
  bloom_filter_fp_chance=0.010000 AND
  caching='KEYS_ONLY' AND
  comment='' AND
  dclocal_read_repair_chance=0.000000 AND
  gc_grace_seconds=864000 AND
  index_interval=128 AND
  read_repair_chance=0.000000 AND
  replicate_on_write='true' AND
  populate_io_cache_on_flush='false' AND
  default_time_to_live=0 AND
  speculative_retry='NONE' AND
  memtable_flush_period_in_ms=0 AND
  compaction = {'sstable_size_in_mb': '640', 'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionStrategy'} AND
  compression={'sstable_compression': 'LZ4Compressor'};

Finally, you can test like below:

// Graphite old version
$ echo "foo.bar 1 `date +%s`" | nc localhost 2003

// Graphite tag version
$ echo "foo.bar;host=local 1 `date +%s`" | nc localhost 2003

$ open localhost
// Login grafana using
// id : admin
// password : admin123
