## Description
Library cookbook for installation and configuration of [Graphite](http://graphite.readthedocs.org) via Chef
Consult the Graphite documentation for more information:

## Maintainers
This cookbook is maintained by the Sous Chefs. The Sous Chefs are a community of Chef cookbook maintainers working together to maintain important cookbooks. If you’d like to know more please visit [sous-chefs.org](https://sous-chefs.org/) or come chat with us on the Chef Community Slack in [#sous-chefs](https://chefcommunity.slack.com/messages/C2V7B88SF).
## Requirements
### Platforms
- Ubuntu 18.04+
- Debian 8+
- RHEL 7+
### Chef
- Chef 13+
### Cookbooks
- poise-python
## Attributes
See [default attributes](https://github.com/sous-chefs/graphite/blob/main/attributes/default.rb#L48) for platform specific packages installed.
- `node['graphite']['version']` - package version to install, defaults to '0.9.12'
- `node['graphite']['twisted_version']` - twisted version to pin to, defaults to '13.1'
- `node['graphite']['django_version']` - django version to use, defaults to '1.5.5'
- `node['graphite']['user']` - graphite user, 'graphite'
- `node['graphite']['group']` - graphite group, 'graphite'
- `node['graphite']['base_dir']` - default base dir, '/opt/graphite'
- `node['graphite']['doc_root']` - doc root for graphite-web, '/opt/graphite/webapp'
- `node['graphite']['storage_dir']` - storage dir, '/opt/graphite/storage'
- `node['graphite']['install_type']` - 'package' or 'source'. Setting this to source will use latest github main branch
- `default['graphite']['package_names']` - package name hash, indexed by 'install_type' attribute.
- `default['graphite']['graph_templates']` - graphite template config hash
- `default['graphite']['sort_storage_schemas']` - Boolean attribute to specify whether or not storage schemas should be sorted in alphabetical order
- `default['graphite']['sort_configs']` - Boolean attribute to specify whether or not config stanzas should be sorted in alphabetical order
### Adjusting package source location
You can override the `node['graphite']['package_names'][#{name}]['source']` attribute, where `#{name}` is one of `whisper`, `carbon` or `graphite_web`, to set a custom install path. By default a source install will use the github main branch.
## Recipes
### default
No-op, assuming cookbook inclusion in a custom wrapper.
### packages
Just install all packages, carbon and web
### carbon
Install all carbon packages, setup the graphite user, storage paths and write the carbon configuration. Does not start any services.
### web
Set up just about everything for graphite web, except configure it and start the service. Use the `graphite_web_config` resource and the `uwsgi` recipe for those two things.
Some of this weirdness may not really be needed, so send us a PR if you fix it before us. For example, I'd love some way to remove that execute block for selinux and there's probably a better way to manage all those files and directories.
### uwsgi
Start a uwsgi runit service for graphite-web. That's it.
### Various internal recipes
View the code for additional stub recipes that perform smaller pieces of functionality such as setup the user or install specific packages, the all begin with an underscore `_`.
It's like a treasure hunt.
## Resources
### Carbon daemons
Management for the various [Carbon](https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon) services which receive your metrics and write them to disk.
- `graphite_service`: sets up a carbon service with runit, essentially a glorified `runit_service`. Carbon configuration should be defined first with one of the `graphite_carbon_*` resources. Multiple daemons can be run by using multiple resources with names such as `cache:a`, `cache:b`, etc..
- `graphite_carbon_aggregator`: data driven resource for carbon-aggregator configuration
- `graphite_carbon_cache`: data driven resource for carbon-cache configuration
- `graphite_carbon_relay`: data driven resource for carbon-cache configuration
### Storage
[Whisper](https://github.com/graphite-project/whisper) is pretty much a requirement right now, so these resources assume whisper libraries should be installed. Feel free to implement something else in your own wrapper if you live on the edge and prefer [Ceres](https://github.com/graphite-project/ceres).
- `graphite_storage`: makes a directory intended for graphite storage, installs whisper
- `graphite_storage_schema`: data driven resource for storage schema
### Graphite Web
Write the configuration file for [Graphite Web](https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web)
- `graphite_web_config`: data driven python config file writer for graphite web. Assumes the whole file is managed, typically this is the path to local_settings.py. Custom python code can be placed in the optional 'dynamic template', by default a file named 'local_settings_dynamic.py' that is optimistically loaded if present.
Yes it's [writing python via ruby](https://github.com/sous-chefs/graphite/blob/main/libraries/chef_graphite_python.rb#L14).
A runit service definition is provided to start a uwsgi process, but note that choice of web server for proxying to the application server is left up to you. No more hard Apache dependency!
### Accumulators
Due to the graphite config file format, the data driven resources use an accumulator pattern to find the appropriate resources in the run context and extract provided configuration data. You should never need to use these directly, but you're welcome to go crazy.
- `graphite_carbon_conf_accumulator`: lookup named carbon resources in run context and gather config
- `graphite_storage_conf_accumulator`: lookup named storage schema resources in run context and gather config
If you look at the [example cookbook recipe](https://github.com/sous-chefs/graphite/blob/main/test/fixtures/cookbooks/test/recipes/single_node.rb#L9) you probably notice that many of the resources simply take a single `config` attribute, which is basically a hash of the configuration to be written.
This can come from attributes in a wrapper cookbook or via data bags if you like. Be as creative as you can tolerate.
Accumulator pattern came from excellent work by [Mathieu Sauve-Frankel](https://github.com/kisoku/chef-accumulator)
## Usage
It's a library cookbook, intended to be used in your custom wrapper cookbook to behave as needed. It's the building materials, not the house.
We have purposefully left out web server configuration to remove the dependency, so you're free to use whatever works in your environment. This avoids the need for this cookbook to keep up to date with configuration that isn't really graphite specific.
For example usage consult the reference cookbook [example](https://github.com/sous-chefs/graphite/tree/master/test/fixtures/cookbooks/test/recipes)
## Examples
You can find example usage in the graphite_example cookbook that is included in the [git repository](https://github.com/sous-chefs/graphite/blob/main/test/fixtures/cookbooks/test/recipes/single_node.rb).
## Data Bags
Sure, use em if you like. Even encrypt them.
