Usage

recipe[graphite] should build a stand-alone Graphite installation.

recipe[graphite::ganglia] integrates with Ganglia. You'll want at least one monitor node (i.e. recipe[ganglia]) node to be running to use it.

Caveats

Ships with two default schemas, stats.* (for Etsy's statsd) and a catchall that matches anything. The catchall retains minutely data for 13 months, as in the default config. stats retains data every 10 seconds for 6 hours, every minute for a week, and every 10 minutes for 5 years.
