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: [sudo] gem install vagrant
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.
