Create a Graphite and Statsd server with Chef and Vagrant. This one provisions the VM and starts the services.

Creating a Graphite and Statsd Server

First install the pre-reqs

• Install VirtualBox
• Install Vagrant
• gem install librarian-chef
• librarian-chef install
• vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
• vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus

Sometimes I have to log in and start uwsgi. ps aux | grep uwsgi sudo service uwsgi start

For troubleshooting, start in /etc/graphite/local_settings.py Graphite should appear on http://localhost:2880/content

Alternative

It might be easier to use this... https://github.com/hopsoft/docker-graphite-statsd

Correction

It's even easier to use the cooniur/graphana_graphite docker container at https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/cooniur/grafana_graphite/.
