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.

Galaxy

The Role in Ansible Galaxy is old and unmaintained because invasive permissions asked by Ansible.

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 /static {
    alias /opt/graphite/webapp/content;
    expires max;
  }

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

The uwsgi socket can be configured through uwsgi_graphite_socket.

Alternatively, you can define uwsgi_graphite_extraopts with additional uwsgi configuration, which can e.g. enable http on port 8080 or add basic auth:

uwsgi_graphite_extraopts:
  - option: http
    value: "{{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}:8080"
  - option: plugins
    value: router_basicauth
  - option: route
    value: "^/ basicauth:myRealm,foo:bar"
