Icinga2 + Grafana or Graphite

Enable and configure icinga2's "graphite" feature. That way the check performance data will be pushed to the carbon cache listener writing all the metrics.

I found Puppet modules pretty convenient when setting up the Vagrant boxes. I don't have much Grafana knowledge myself, but they provide pretty good documentation and tutorial videos you should watch. It took me a while to figure out how to add my own dashboards with datasources, but the intro video explained it perfectly.

Hello how did you get graphite work in icingaweb2?. I follow the guide:

http://dokuwiki.nausch.org/dok…os:web_c7:icinga:graphite

and i got errors when i try to install the rpm (yum install graphite-web)

I take another way and i install icinga2 and later graphite separate (http://www.unixmen.com/install-graphite-centos-7/). i can see graphite draw the graps in port 8080. but in icinga2 even i enabled graphite i cant see an grap or even the module of graphite in the menu.
There is some link or guide that can help me a little bit.

I will really apreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

There's multiple components involved. The integration into Icinga Web 2 is the last step I would take. At first glance you should ensure that carbon cache, whisper and graphite web are running. Then you'll plug Icinga 2 using the Graphite feature onto it. Add a realtime check (e.g. load with *interval = 1s) to regularly send new metrics from Icinga 2 to Graphite. Once that is working, you could follow the Web2-Module-Integration you mentioned.

Installing Graphite is explained at their docs, in case you're using packages those should provide a README file (normally in /usr/share/doc/<packagename> somewhere).

Dear dnsmichi:

Thanks in advance for your advice!! i follow your advice and now mi icinga2 is working with graphite draw the graps . also can manage grahite in their own core and icinga2 integration.

now time to try to add some with snmp host.

great forum and great people!!.

Hi, How did you manage to solve it?

I've successfully configured icinga2 graphite writer and I can see metrics being graphed in both graphite-web and grafana but not in icingaweb2.

Below are my configs:

/etc/icingaweb2/modules/graphite/config.ini :

[graphite]
web_url = http://mytestserver

-rwxr-sr-x. 1 root icingaweb2 133 May 13 13:21 templateset.ini

Graphite icingaweb2 module is enable. I can see Graphite section under History but no templates are available. In addition if I go to to any service I can perfdata but no graph.

I've attached few screenshots.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to configure link that hitokiri240 posted to install Graphite on CentOS 7. Unfortunately when I get to the point of creating database I get following error:

@hitokiri, could you please let me know how did you manage to get the graphite up and running?

hplodur,

syncdb was decapitated in django 1.9. Going back to 1.8 fixed that problem for me.

The Graphite project has updated their documentation for the most recent Django versions breaking things.

https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web/issues/1425
https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web/pull/1583

@hplodur use have to add some code to u apache2

# nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/graphite.conf
<Directory /usr/share/graphite-web/>
Require all granted
</Directory>
service apache2 restart

this worked for me

but i am using debian 8 jessie
