collectd/Graphite on Docker

This repository contains the sources to build a collectd/Graphite Docker image. collectd is configured to receive metrics from the network and to store them to Graphite.

If you have Docker installed, you can try it out with:

docker build -t collectd-graphite . # from the root of this repository
docker run collectd-graphite

Then, using docker ps, write down which port has been assigned to collectd and which one has been assigned to the web interface.

Install collectd using your favorite package manager, open collectd.conf and add:

<Plugin network>
 Server "<your-docker-host>" "<the-port-in-docker-ps-likely-49153>"
</Plugin>

Restart collectd and point your browser to http://<your-docker-host->:<the-other-port-in-docker-ps>, and you should see the Graphite UI. By navigating in the tree on the left, you can start to build your own graphs:

If you want to save configured graphs, you can login into graphite with the username “graphite” and the password “admin” (you change that from the graphite/mkadmin.py script).
