carbon-clickhouse

Graphite metrics receiver with ClickHouse as storage

Production status

Last releases are stable and ready for production use

TL;DR

Preconfigured docker-compose

Build

# build binary
git clone https://github.com/lomik/carbon-clickhouse.git
cd carbon-clickhouse
make

ClickHouse configuration

1. Add graphite_rollup section to config.xml. Sample here. You can use carbon-schema-to-clickhouse for generate rollup xml from graphite storage-schemas.conf.

2. Create tables.

CREATE TABLE graphite ( 
  Path String,  
  Value Float64,  
  Time UInt32,  
  Date Date,  
  Timestamp UInt32
) ENGINE = GraphiteMergeTree('graphite_rollup')
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(Date)
ORDER BY (Path, Time);

-- optional table for faster metric search
CREATE TABLE graphite_index (
  Date Date,
  Level UInt32,
  Path String,
  Version UInt32
) ENGINE = ReplacingMergeTree(Version)
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(Date)
ORDER BY (Level, Path, Date);

-- optional table for storing Graphite tags
CREATE TABLE graphite_tagged (
  Date Date,
  Tag1 String,
  Path String,
  Tags Array(String),
  Version UInt32
) ENGINE = ReplacingMergeTree(Version)
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(Date)
ORDER BY (Tag1, Path, Date);

GraphiteMergeTree documentation

You can create Replicated tables. See ClickHouse documentation

# You can use tag matching like in InfluxDB. Format is exactly the same.
# It will parse all metrics that don't have tags yet.

# Example:
# [convert_to_tagged]
# enabled = true 
# separator = "_"
# tags = ["region=us-east", "zone=1c"]
# templates = [
#     "generated.* .measurement.cpu  metric=idle",
#     "* host.measurement* template_match=none",
