• OVERVIEW At the time of writing there were no graphite packages for Debian so installations had to be done from sources. This module isn't much more than a bunch of execs wrapping the manual installation process.

I created this module to use the web interface against a collectd/rrd installation so I've only dealt with graphite-web and whisper, there's no support for carbon at this time.

There is also a "patches" directory that ships a diff to make the rrd support working. The class could be improved to support different patches that can be selectively picked by the user.

Credit to vvuksan for his graphite-ganglia puppet manifest that got me started. https://github.com/vvuksan/ganglia-misc/tree/d65de0a2b670fbe8e996823ed88a0300da6e47a8/graphite

To use it just:

Exec { path => "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin" }

include graphite::buildenv include graphite::whisper include graphite::web

Variables of what is installed and where is defined in graphite::params

• TODO Some stuff that certainly eneds work

• put revision to install was in a configurable variable
• all parameters could be overridden with user variables
• fiddle with the django settings to use different databases and set other options
• manage apache/webserver vhost in a decent way
• figure out how to make the sqlite initialization unattended
