sixsq/graphite repository overview

⁠Graphite + Carbon + Whisper (Version: 1.1.5)

An all-in-one image running graphite, carbon-cache and a whisper database.

This image contains a default configuration of graphite and carbon-cache. Starting this container will, by default, bind the the following host ports:

• 8080: the graphite web interface
• 2003: the carbon-cache line receiver
• 2004: the carbon-cache pickle receiver
• 7002: the carbon-cache query port

You can log into the administrative interface of graphite-web with the username admin and password admin. These passwords can be changed through the web interface.

NB: Please be aware that by default docker will make the exposed ports accessible from anywhere if the host firewall is unconfigured.

⁠Data volumes

Graphite data are stored at /var/lib/graphite/storage/whisper within the container. If you want to store your metrics outside the container (for persistence) you can use docker's data volumes feature.

Graphite configuration is stored at /var/lib/graphite/conf/ within the container. If you want to provide your own persistent configuration you can use docker's data volumes feature.

All logs are stored in /var/log/ within the container. If you want to persist them you can use docker's data volumes feature.

For example, to:

• store graphite's metric database at /data/graphite on the host
• use graphite's configuration at /conf/graphite on the host
• store container's logs at /log/graphite on the host

you can run:

docker run --name graphite \
           -v /data/graphite:/var/lib/graphite/storage/whisper \
           -v /conf/graphite:/var/lib/graphite/conf/ \
           -v /log/graphite:/var/log/ \
           -d sixsq/graphite-container

⁠Defaults

By default, this instance of carbon-cache uses the following retention periods resulting in whisper files of approximately 4MiB.

60s:30d,5m:183d,15m:2y,30m:5y,1h:10y

By default, the timezone is configured to Europe/Zurich. To change it, edit the following file in the container: /var/lib/graphite/webapp/graphite/local_settings.py
