node-grafana

A Node.js host for grafana

Setup

Elasticsearch

If you're on OSX you can install elasticsearch with homebrew brew install elasticsearch and start it elasticsearch.

The Proxy

$ git clone git@github.com:dmcaulay/node-grafana.git
$ cd node-grafana
$ make prereqs

Configure

Uncomment the 'Graphite & Elasticsearch example setup' block in grafana/config.js and replace it with the following:

      // Graphite & Elasticsearch example setup
      datasources: {
        graphite: {
          type: 'graphite',
          url: "http://localhost:8080/graphite",
        },
        elasticsearch: {
          type: 'elasticsearch',
          url: "http://localhost:8080/elasticsearch",
          index: 'grafana-dash',
          grafanaDB: true,
        }
      },

Update config.js if necessary.

{
  port: 8080,
  dir: './grafana',
  proxy: {
    secure: false
  },
  elasticsearch: {
    path: '/elasticsearch',
    target: 'http://localhost:9200'
  },
  graphite: {
    path: '/graphite',
    target: 'https://localhost:8880'
  }
};

You will most likely need to update elasticsearch.target and graphite.target. The target points to your instances of elasticsearch and graphite. In this case elasticsearch is running locally on it's default port and graphite is running locally on 8880.

Start
