nsg.graphite

This role installs graphite, I choose to install graphite from pip because the packages in the distributions repositories are old and features are missing. I’m using apt/yum when possible.

Requirements

As usual, read the tasks and make sure this role will not breaks your installation, I will for example mess with django, twisted and uwsgi.

This role exposes the graphite web interface with uwsgi at localhost:3031, you need to configure a web server your self to talk to that. For example, do this with nginx:

server {
  listen 8080;
  charset utf-8;
  access_log /var/log/nginx/graphite.access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/graphite.error.log;

  location / {
  include uwsgi_params;
  uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:3031;
  }
}

Role Variables

  • graphite_user - The user that carbon and uwsgi is executed as, default: graphite
  • graphite_secret_key - Change this to a random string, default: UNSAFE_DEFAULT
  • graphite_time_zone - Select timezone, default: America/Los_Angeles
