dataloop/dalmatiner-docker repository overview

⁠Dalmatiner Docker

A container built to play with Dalmatiner DB. Not meant for production use.

Contains: DalmatinerDB, Dalmatiner-FrontEnd, Grafana, Dalmatiner-Grafana-Plugin, Dalmatiner-Graphite, StatsD

Warning! Everything is stored in the container so you should consider any data or dashboards to be ephemeral

⁠Exposes Ports:

3000 (Grafana Web)

2003 (Graphite Port)

8125 (StatsD Port)

5555 (Dalmatiner TCP)

8080 (Dalmatiner FrontEnd)

To send metrics in configure a StatsD client to connect to localhost:8125. Alternatively, configure collectors with a Graphite backend to localhost:2003. To view metrics connect to http://localhost:3000⁠ and use admin / admin to login.

If you are running docker-machine you will need to send metrics into your $DOCKER_HOST IP in addition to changing the Dalmatiner data source in Grafana.

⁠Other bits of trivia

There is a setting in ddb.conf that controls how many points are stored in memory before being flushed to disk.

cache_points = 10

The container has this set to 10 seconds. You may want to increase that if you send a lot of metrics in. Sane defaults are 60 or 600 seconds depending on how many points.
