Rasberry Pi monitoring server

Create a Raspberry Pi monitoring server with Graphite + Grafana.

Prerequisites

• Ansible
• Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Stretch (Only tested with Pi 3 Model B)

You may want to change whisper's retention periods for your metrics in roles/graphite/files/config/storage-schemas.conf. A few are provided with a default of:

pattern = .*
retentions = 1m:30d,10m:1y

Running

Run the ansible playbook:

ansible-playbook -K -u pi -i inventories/hosts site.yml

Getting data

Here are some projects that let you create some graphite compatible data:

• OhmGraphite (Windows PC stats)
• collectd (Unix daemon)
