A small script to help you run hopsoft/docker-graphite-statsd with a different statsd config file. hopsoft's docker image for statsd and graphite are great, and really flexible. I generally run it with a different config file for statsd (to match closer to what we use in production at the day job).

This script will do the following:

• create a directory (you choose the name) within your home directory and populate it with other directories to be used as mounted volumes in the docker container
• copy a given statsd config file (you supply it, or it will use a default one)

Usage

Clone this repo, or download the dsgs file. Move it somewhere that is in your PATH (ala /usr/local/bin). For example:

git clone [email protected]:knomedia/dsgs.git
cd dsgs
cp dsgs /usr/local/bin/dsgs

usage:

dsgs <dir> [config_url]

<dir> is the name of a directory that will be created in your home folder
and updated with a statsd config file, and then used as a local volume for the
docker container that you spin up.

[config_url] optional url to a statsd config file to use

For example:

dsgs local_statsd_config

this would create a ~/local_statsd_config directory with some sub directories, and copy a default statsd config.js file into ~/local_statsd_config/statsds/

Then follow the prompt to start up your container locally. It will look something like:

VIRTUAL_HOST=graphite.docker docker run -d
  --name graphite\
  -p 81:80  -p 2003:2003\
  -p 8125:8125/udp\
  -v ~/local_statsd_config/graphite/configs:/opt/graphite/conf\
  -v ~/local_statsd_config/graphite/data:/opt/graphite/storage\
  -v ~/local_statsd_config/statsd:/opt/statsd\
  hopsoft/graphite-statsd

From there you can follow the directions at hopsoft/docker-graphite-statsd. But the td/dr; is:

# stop the container from running
docker stop graphite

# start the container up
docker start graphite

# remove the container
docker rm graphite

Assuming you are using https://github.com/codekitchen/dinghy you will be able to get access to the graphite web ui at http://graphite.docker:81, and can send statsd metrics over UDP to graphite.docker:8125 something like:

echo "some.key.bucket:1|c" | nc -w 1 -u graphite.docker 8125
