Description

scripts for installing statsd/graphite/grafana on an Amazon Linux AMI.

Launch/configure via Packer

brew tap homebrew/binary
brew install packer

Create box

packer build \
    -debug \
    -var 'aws_access_key=your_aws_key' \
    -var 'aws_secret_key=your_aws_secret' \
    statsd.json

This will do the following:

• launch instance
• run shell provisioner to bootstrap puppet
• run puppet to install graphite, statsd, memcache, grafana
• bundle the box as an EBS AMI which can be launched later
• creates a temporary ssh key ec2_amazon-ebs.pem so you can ssh -i ec2_amazon-ebs.pem [email protected]

Notes

If you don't wnat to use packer you can launch image ami-bba18dd, clone the git repo, run the commands in the shell provisioner to bootstrap, then run puppet with:

puppet apply --hiera_config puppet/hiera_config.yaml --modulepath puppet/modules puppet/manifests/statsd.pp

You'll also want to open the appropriate firewall rules:

• 80 (tcp) - httpd
• 2003 (tcp) - graphite
• 8125 (udp) - statsd
• 9200 (tcp) - elasticsearch

By default the apache VirtualHosts are set to:

• stats.example.org -- grafana

• graphite.example.org -- graphite These can be changed in hieradata/common.yaml

• Only tested on Amazon Linux 2013.09.2
