Graphite is a popular open-source tool used for monitoring and graphing real-time data. In this tutorial, we will be explaining how to install Graphite on Manjaro.
Before installing any software, it's a good practice to update the system. To update the system, run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Graphite has some dependencies that need to be installed before installation. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo pacman -S python2 python2-pip python2-setuptools python2-wheel python2-cffi fontconfig libcairo libffi libyaml pango
Once the dependencies are installed, we can install Graphite using pip. Run the following command to install Graphite:
sudo pip2 install graphite-web carbon whisper
This command will install Graphite along with its three components: graphite-web, carbon, and whisper.
After installation, you need to configure Graphite. Configure the carbon cache by editing the carbon.conf file. Run the following command to edit the file:
sudo nano /opt/graphite/conf/carbon.conf
Change the ENABLE_LOGROTATION and MAX_CREATES_PER_MINUTE parameters in the configuration file to the following:
ENABLE_LOGROTATION = True
MAX_CREATES_PER_MINUTE = 50
Save and close the carbon.conf file.
To start the Graphite services, run the following commands:
sudo systemctl start carbon-cache
sudo systemctl start httpd
Once Graphite is installed and configured, you can access its web user interface by navigating to http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Graphite on Manjaro. Graphite is a powerful tool, and it's essential to monitor and graph real-time data in various applications. If you follow these steps correctly, Graphite should be running smoothly on your Manjaro machine.
