raintank/graphite-stack repository overview

⁠graphite-stack

Docker container running carbon-cache, graphite-web, statsite and grafana

This docker image is based on the synthesize⁠ installation scripts.

Like synthesize⁠ this image provides a complete installation of Graphite.

⁠Provides

• Graphite 0.9.15 (graphite-web⁠, carbon⁠, whisper⁠)
• StatsD (statsite⁠)
• Grafana (latest nightly build)

docker run -d --name graphite -p3000:3000 -p2003:2003 -p443:443 -p8125:8125 raintank/graphite-stack

The stack will listen on the following ports:

• 2003 tcp (metrictank's carbon input)
• 8125 udp (statsd endpoint)
• 3000 tcp (grafana's http port)
• 443 tcp (graphite-web and the graphite query api.)

⁠carbon

Start sending metrics directly using the carbon protocol. For details see the graphite documentation⁠

⁠statsd

Start sending metrics dirctly using the statsD protocol. refer to the statsite documentation⁠

• username admin
• password graphite_me_synthesize

⁠Grafana

The grafana UI is available at http://localhost:3000/⁠. If you are using Docker Toolbox on MacOS, then change localhost to the IP of the Virtualbox VM running docker. This IP can be retreived with docker-machine ip

The default user credentials are:

• username: admin
• password: admin

Once logged into grafana you will need to add the datasource. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/datasources/new⁠ Then enter the following information
