#graphite
####Table of Contents
##Overview
This module installs and makes basic configs for graphite, with carbon and whisper.
##Module Description
Graphite, and its components Carbon and Whisper, is an enterprise-scale monitoring tool. This module sets up a simple graphite server with all its components. Furthermore it can be used to set up more complex graphite environments with metric aggregation, clustering and so on.
##Setup
What graphite affects:
- packages/services/configuration files for Graphite
- on default sets up webserver (can be disabled if manage by other module)
###Beginning with Graphite
To install Graphite with default parameters
class { 'graphite': }The defaults are determined by your operating system e.g. Debian systems have one set of defaults, and RedHat systems have another). This defaults should work well on testing environments with graphite as a standalone service on the machine. For production use it is recommend to use a database like MySQL and cache data in memcached (not installed with this module) and configure it here. Furthermore you should check things like gr_storage_schemas.
###Configure MySQL and Memcached
class { 'graphite':
gr_max_updates_per_second => 100,
gr_timezone => 'Europe/Berlin',
secret_key => 'CHANGE_IT!',
gr_storage_schemas => [
{
name => 'carbon',
pattern => '^carbon\.',
retentions => '1m:90d'
},
{
name => 'special_server',
pattern => '^longtermserver_',
retentions => '10s:7d,1m:365d,10m:5y'
},
{
name => 'default',
pattern => '.*',
retentions => '60:43200,900:350400'
}
],
gr_django_db_engine => 'django.db.backends.mysql',
gr_django_db_name => 'graphite',
gr_django_db_user => 'graphite',
gr_django_db_password => 'MYsEcReT!',
gr_django_db_host => 'mysql.my.domain',
gr_django_db_port => '3306',
gr_memcache_hosts => ['127.0.0.1:11211']
}###Configure Graphite with Grafana
This setup will use the puppetlabs-apache and bfraser-grafana modules to setup a graphite system with grafana frontend. You will also need an elasticsearch as it is required for grafana.
include '::apache'
apache::vhost { graphite.my.domain:
port => '80',
docroot => '/opt/graphite/webapp',
wsgi_application_group => '%{GLOBAL}',
wsgi_daemon_process => 'graphite',
wsgi_daemon_process_options => {
processes => '5',
threads => '5',
display-name => '%{GROUP}',
inactivity-timeout => '120',
},
wsgi_import_script => '/opt/graphite/conf/graphite_wsgi.py',
wsgi_import_script_options => {

},
wsgi_process_group => 'graphite',

'set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "origin, authorization, accept"',
],

]
}->
class { 'graphite':
gr_web_server => 'none',
gr_disable_webapp_cache => true,
}
class {'grafana':
# see manual of this module
}###Configuration with Apache 2.4 and CORS
If you use a system which ships Apache 2.4, then you will need a slightly different vhost config. Here is an example with Apache 2.4 and CORS enabled. If you do not know what CORS, then do not use it. Its disabled by default. You will need CORS for Webguis like Grafana.
class { 'graphite':
gr_apache_24 => true,
gr_web_cors_allow_from_all => true,
secret_key => 'CHANGE_IT!'
}###Configuration with Additional LDAP Options
If additional LDAP parameters are needed for your Graphite installation, you can specify them using the gr_ldap_options
parameter. For example, this is useful if you're using SSL and need to configure LDAP to use your SSL cert and key files.
This Puppet configuration...
class { 'graphite':
gr_ldap_options => {
'ldap.OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT' => 'ldap.OPT_X_TLS_ALLOW',
'ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CACERTDIR' => '"/etc/ssl/ca"',
'ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CERTFILE' => '"/etc/ssl/mycert.crt"',
'ldap.OPT_X_TLS_KEYFILE' => '"/etc/ssl/mykey.pem"',
},
}... adds these lines to the local_settings.py configuration file for Graphite web.
import ldap
ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CACERTDIR, "/etc/ssl/ca")
ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CERTFILE, "/etc/ssl/mycert.crt")
ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_KEYFILE, "/etc/ssl/mykey.pem")
ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT, ldap.OPT_X_TLS_ALLOW)See http://www.python-ldap.org/ for more details about these options.
###Configuration with multiple cache, relay and/or aggregator instances
You could create more than one instance for cache, relay or aggregator using the gr_cache_instances,
gr_relay_instances and gr_aggregator_instances parameters. These paremeters must be hashes, and the keys are the name of the instances (cache:b, cache:c, relay:b, relay:c, etc.). Every hash must have an array of parameters which will be written as is in the config file. The defaults settings for the additional instances will be the
ones set for the principal instance.
class {'graphite':
gr_line_receiver_port => 2003,
gr_pickle_receiver_port => 2004,
gr_cache_query_port => 7002,
gr_cache_instances => {
'cache:b' => {
'LINE_RECEIVER_PORT' => 2103,
'PICKLE_RECEIVER_PORT' => 2104,
'CACHE_QUERY_PORT' => 7102,
},
'cache:c' => {
'LINE_RECEIVER_PORT' => 2203,
'PICKLE_RECEIVER_PORT' => 2204,
'CACHE_QUERY_PORT' => 7202,
}
}
}So in this case you would have 3 cache instances, the first one is cache (you can refer to it as cache:a too), cache:b and cache:c. cache:a will listen on ports 2003, 2004 and 7002 for line, pickle and query respectively. But, cache:b will do it on ports 2103, 2104, and 7102, and cache:c on 2203, 2204 and 7202. All other parameters from cache:a will be inherited by cache:b and c.
###Installing with something other than pip and specifying package names and versions
If you need to install via something other than pip, an internal apt repo with fpm converted packages for instance, you can set gr_pip_install to false.
If you're doing this you'll most likely have to override the default package names and versions as well.
class { '::graphite':
gr_pip_install => false,
gr_django_tagging_pkg => 'python-django-tagging',
gr_django_tagging_ver => 'present',
gr_twisted_pkg => 'python-twisted',
gr_twisted_ver => 'present',
gr_txamqp_pkg => 'python-txamqp',
gr_txamqp_ver => 'present',
gr_graphite_pkg => 'python-graphite-web',
gr_graphite_ver => 'present',
gr_carbon_pkg => 'python-carbon',
gr_carbon_ver => 'present',
gr_whisper_pkg => 'python-whisper',
gr_whisper_ver => 'present',
}Additionally, the Django package is normally installed from a system package, but can be changed to install from pip instead.
class { '::graphite':
gr_django_pkg => 'django',
gr_django_ver => '1.5',
gr_django_provider => 'pip',
}####Managing system pip and Python development packages
If gr_pip_install is set to true, both python-pip and Python development packages will need to be installed. If you want to manage those packages separately, set gr_manage_python_packages to false.
class { '::graphite': gr_pip_install => true, gr_manage_python_packages => false, }

##Requirements
###Modules needed:
stdlib by puppetlabs
###Software versions needed:
facter > 1.6.2 puppet > 2.6.2
On Redhat distributions you need the EPEL or RPMforge repository, because Graphite needs packages, which are not part of the default repos.
##Limitations
This module is tested on CentOS 6.5 and Debian 7 (Wheezy) and should also run on
- RHEL/CentOS/Scientific 6+
- Debian 6+
- Ubunutu 10.04 and newer
Most settings of Graphite can be set by parameters. So their can be special configurations for you. In this case you should edit
the file templates/opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/local_settings.py.erb.
###Compatibility Notes
- There is currently an open ticket with Puppet about broken pip support in CentOS 6/7. The
workaround for this bug is to create a symlink from
/usr/bin/pip-python(which doesn't exist) to/usr/bin/pip(which does). - CentOS 7's default
nginx.confincludes aserversection listening on port 80. Thus, it is not possible to set up graphite without modifying the package-provided configuration file. You will have to either manually remove theserversection, or provide agr_web_server_portother than port 80. - nginx/gunicorn requires a
systemctl restart gunicornafter installing on Ubuntu 15.10 - SELinux must be disabled
