Vagrant VM for Graphite + StatsD + Diamond

A quick Vagrant setup for a running Graphite, StatsD, and Diamond installation on a Debian Squeeze 32-bit VM via Chef.

Various Chef cookbooks here might also be useful on their own, though they are not very polished.

Installation

• virtual box needs to be installed: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
• Vagrant too: http://downloads.vagrantup.com/
• Download or clone this project

Usage

• cd to the project's root
• In the Vagrantfile, set :tz to your timezone.
• To spin up the VM, do vagrant up
• After the VM is up, vagrant ssh to ssh into it.
• From the local machine, view the Graphite web interface by browsing to http://localhost:8080.
• You can later shut it down by doing vagrant halt, or completely destroy it using vagrant destroy.
