A cookbook that includes a report handler for sending chef run results to graphite. If you have the ohai-system_packages plugin installed, it will also send package statistics to graphite.
The chef_handler cookbook.
This cookbook uses the following attributes to configure how it is installed.
node['chef_client']['handler']['graphite']['host']- The graphite server host.node['chef_client']['handler']['graphite']['port']- The graphite server port.node['chef_client']['handler']['graphite']['prefix']- The prefix appended to statistics sent to graphite. Defaults to"chef.#{node.chef_environment}.node.#{node['hostname']}".
Set the host and port attributes on the node and include the "graphite_handler::default" recipe.
To send custom metrics, fill a hash in run_context[:graphite_handler_metrics].
For instance, in a ruby_block:
run_context[:graphite_handler_metrics] ||= {}
run_context[:graphite_handler_metrics][:monitoring_registration_time] = Benchmark.measure { register node }.real
The handler was originally written by Ian Meyer and was converted to a cookbook by Peter Donald. Contributions by Lew Goettner, Julian Dunn and others.
