banno/graphite-haproxy repository overview

⁠Graphite Setup

This reposistory is for images of graphite and the associated carbon daemons: carbon-cache and carbon-relay. It represents what we believe to be the best practices for running a graphite cluster.

⁠Build

• docker and docker-compose must be installed
• rake -T will explain most everything

⁠Example docker-compose.yml

The docker-compose.yml⁠ file is an example of a multi-node graphite cluster with each node running mulitple carbon-caches. It's described on Clustering Graphite - bitprophet.org⁠ as the "Multiple nodes, multiple caches on each, multiple relays".

In the docker-compose.yml⁠ example, pretend there are two "nodes" a and b.

Each of those hosts is running:

• one carbon-relay eg relaya and relayb. Each carbon-relay is pointed at the carbon-caches running on the same "node". It is using consistent-hashing for the relay method.
• two carbon-caches: e.g. cachea1,cachea2,cacheb1,cacheb2. There should be a carbon-cache per core.
• one graphite-web: e.g. weba and webb. Each graphite-web is only pointed at the carbon-relay running on the same "node".

We then run a separate web pointed at weba and webb and a "top" carbon-relay pointed at relaya and relayb.
