Description

GraphiteAPI Middleware provides a way to interacting with Graphite's Carbon Daemon, by setting up the GraphiteAPI-Middleware daemon. This method implements Graphite's plaintext protocol for communication.

Key Features

  • Multiple Graphite Servers Support - GraphiteAPI-Middleware supports sending aggregated data to multiple graphite servers, in a multiplex fashion, useful for large data centers and backup purposes
  • Reanimation mode - support cases which the same keys (same timestamps as well) can be received simultaneously and asynchronously from multiple input sources, in these cases GraphiteAPI-Middleware will "reanimate" old records (records that were already sent to Graphite server), and will send the sum of the reanimated record value + the value of the record that was just received to the graphite server; this new summed record should override the key with the new value on Graphite database.
  • non-blocking I/O ( EventMachine aware ).
  • Thread-Safe client.

Usage

  • After installing this gem, the graphite-api-middleware command should be available. ``` workspace $ graphite-api-middleware -h GraphiteAPI Middleware Server Usage: graphite-api-middleware ... [-d | --daemonize] [-p= | --port=] [-l= | --log-file=] [-L= | --log-level=] [-P= | --pid-file=] [-i= | --interval=] [-s= | --slice=] [-r= | --reanimation=] [-m= | --aggregation-method=] graphite-api-middleware -v | --version graphite-api-middleware -h | --help

Arguments: List of URIs (seperated by spaces) that point to graphite API servers [udp,tcp]://host:port

Options: -h, --help Show this screen. -v, --version Show version. -d, --daemonize Run as a daemon. -p=, --port= Listening port for this server. -l=, --log-file= Listening port for this server. -L=, --log-level= Log level (defaults to warn). -P=, --pid-file= Path to the PID to use (defaults to /var/run/graphite-api-middleware.pid). -i=, --interval= The interval to wait between each report (defaults to 60). -s=, --slice= This middleware will send reports to graphite in slices of X seconds (defaults to 60). -r=, --reanimation= Reanimate records that are younger than X hours, please see README. -m=, --aggregation-method= The aggregation method (sum, avg or replace) for multiple reports in the same time slice (defaults to s um).
