Overview

Collectd-Plot provides a REST API for serving RRD files, as generated by Collectd.

Development

• Run the Tests: bundle exec rake spec

• Running a dev instance

  • Install vagrant
  • run vagrant up
  • the service should be available on the host machine at port 8081: http://localhost:8081
  • the service is run with shotgun, which reloads the code for every request, so edits to the source under /vagrant will be visible with the next request, with no restart.

• Log into the vm for troubleshooting with vagrant ssh

Deployment

• Apply the included chef role 'Prod-Collectd-Plot'

• This role will install all dependencies, and start the service on port 80 using passenger on apache.
