This release provides to complete TICK-Stack (Telegraf, Influx, Chronograf and Kapacitor) as one single BOSH-release.

To get more detailed information about the single products please check the official InfluxDB documentation.

The project is currently under work so please feel free to add issues if you find some strange behaviour or if you miss some configurations.

Getting started

There are some sample manifests as well as ops files included in the manifests folder.

Choose if you want a single VM (singleVM.yml) or a multi VM (multiVM.yml) setup and just execute bosh -d influxdb deploy singleVM.yml or bosh -d influxdb deploy multiVM.yml.

Telegraf as addon

You can easily add telegraf to all your VMs to receive for example VM stats. This can be done via the addon feature of BOSH. Just take the provided runtime-config + vars.yml and upload it to your BOSH Director. Please make sure to add the influxdb IP to the vars.yml and to update your runtime-config with

bosh update-runtime-config runtime-config.yml -l vars.yml

Afterwards during the next deploy of a deployment telegraf will be added to your VMs.

Configure Telegraf to provide VM syslogs to InfluxDB

If you use the syslog-runtime-config + vars.yml you'll get the syslog-forwarder job of the syslog-release added to the telegraf job as well as the needed configurations. Please make sure to add the influxdb IP to the vars.yml and to update your runtime-config with

bosh update-runtime-config runtime-config.yml -l vars.yml

With that your telegraf job will provide the VM logs directly to influxDB.
