Install and run development Graphite / Statsd on OSX

graphite-statsd-osx.md

Graphite

sudo pip install Django==1.8 graphite-web carbon
brew install cairo
sudo pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/graphite-project/graphite-web/master/requirements.txt
cd /opt/graphite
sudo chown -R [YOUR_USERNAME] storage

• Edit webapp/graphite/settings.py: Set SECRET_KEY to a random string.

PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/webapp django-admin.py syncdb --settings=graphite.settings
sudo cp conf/carbon.conf.example conf/carbon.conf
sudo cp conf/storage-schemas.conf.example conf/storage-schemas.conf
sudo cp webapp/graphite/local_settings.py.example webapp/graphite/local_settings.py

• Edit conf/carbon.conf: Set WHISPER_FALLOCATE_CREATE to False

bin/carbon-cache.py start
bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py /opt/graphite

Statsd

brew install node
git clone https://github.com/etsy/statsd.git
cd statsd
cp exampleConfig.js config.js

• Edit config.js: Change graphiteHost to localhost.
• Optionally add debug options shown below.

Your config.js should look similar to this:

{
  graphitePort: 2003
, graphiteHost: "localhost"
, port: 8125
, backends: [ "./backends/graphite" ]
, debug: true
, dumpMessages: true
}

Now you can run the statsd server:

node stats.js config.js

I was following along this tutorial, but when setting python path by using PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/webapp django-admin.py syncdb --settings=graphite.settings gives me following error
