Chronograf

An Open-Source Time Series Visualization Tool

Chronograf is an open-source web application built by the folks over at InfluxData and written in Go and React.js that provides the tools to visualize your monitoring data and easily create alerting and automation rules.

QuickStart

$ helm install stable/chronograf --name foo --namespace bar

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a Chronograf deployment and service on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm Package manager.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes 1.4+
  • PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure (optional)

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install --name my-release stable/chronograf

The command deploys Chronograf on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release --purge

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The configurable parameters of the Chronograf chart and their descriptions can be seen in values.yaml. The full image documentation contains more information about running Chronograf in docker.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set ingress.enabled=true,ingress.hostname=chronograf.foobar.com \
    stable/chronograf

The above command enables persistence and changes the size of the requested data volume to 200GB.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/chronograf

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

Persistence

The Chronograf image stores data in the /var/lib/chronograf directory in the container.

The chart optionally mounts a Persistent Volume volume at this location. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning.
