Graphite

Graphite is an enterprise-scale monitoring tool that runs well on cheap hardware.

Sample pillars

      engine: 'memcached'
      host: '127.0.0.1'
      prefix: 'GRAPHITE'
    database:
      engine: 'postgresql'
      host: '127.0.0.1'
      name: 'graphite'
      password: 'password'
      user: 'graphite'
    mail:
      host: mail1.domain.com
      password: pwd
      user: username

Graphite web server cluster

graphite:
  server:
    enabled: true
    time_zone: 'Europe/Prague'
    database: ...
    mail: ...
    carbon_links:
    - host: 10.0.0.1
      port: 7002
    - host: 10.0.0.2
      port: 7002

Complete single Carbon collector

carbon:
  relay:
    enabled: true
    method: consistent-hashing
  aggregator:
    enabled: false
  cache:
    storage_schema:
      default:
        pattern: '.*'
        retentions:
        - 60s:1d
        - 600s:90d
