paas-chronograf-buildpack

Cloudfoundry buildpack for deploying a Chronograf instance connected to an influxdb service instance.

Visualise your application logs and metrics by adding paas-telegraf-buildpack sidecars
Alert on metric conditions by combining with paas-kapacitor-buildpack

Designed for use with GOV.UK PaaS cloudfoundry, PRs welcome for other cloudfoundry's with influxdb service support.

Chronograf does not provide any metrics itself, to get your application logs and metrics ingested into your InfluxDB instance, add the paas-telegraf-buildpack sidecar to each of your applications.

Usage

Create a manifest.yml describing the chronograf deployment:

---
applications:

- name: chronograf
  memory: 250M
  instances: 1
  stack: cflinuxfs3

  buildpacks:

    # optional: include telegraf sidecar to ingest metrics
    - https://github.com/chrisfarms/paas-telegraf-buildpack

    # optional: include kapacitor sidecar
    - https://github.com/chrisfarms/paas-kapacitor-buildpack

    # required: include this buildpack
    - https://github.com/chrisfarms/paas-chronograf-buildpack

  services:

    # required: bind an influxdb service to read from
    - my-influx-db-service-instance

Push your application:

cf push -f manifest.yml

Note: This buildpack does not require any other files, but if cf complains you don't have any files during push, you may need to add something to keep it happy (for example: touch Chronograf).
