Graphite module for puppet

Description

Puppet module for installing and configuring graphite

Usage

Graphite is a beast. This module tries to tame it a bit.

For your simplest setup, you really only need a cache:

graphite::cache { 'a': }

This will start up a graphite cache listening on port 2003, 2004, and 7002 to receive metrics and to accept queries from graphite-web and other graphite metrics consumers.

Multiple Caches

Multiple caches can be managed with this module:

graphite::cache {
    'a':
        line_receiver_port => 2003,
        udp_receiver_port => 2003,
        pickle_receiver_port => 2004
        cache_query_port => 7002;
    'b':
        line_receiver_port => 2103,
        udp_receiver_port => 2103,
        pickle_receiver_port => 2104
        cache_query_port => 7102;
}

Generally you would want to have these behind a relay instance:

class { 'graphite::relay':
    destinations => ['127.0.0.1:2004:a','127.0.0.1:2104:b']
}

Aggregator Support

If you want to have an aggregator running in front of your cache(s), use the graphite::aggregator class:

class { 'graphite::aggregator':
    destinations => ['127.0.0.1:2014:a'],
}
