Cloudwatch-to-Graphite (leadbutt) is a small utility to take metrics from CloudWatch to Graphite.
Install using pip:
pip install cloudwatch-to-graphite
Cloudwatch-to-Graphite uses boto, so make sure to follow its configuration
instructions. The easiest way to do this is to set up the
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
environment variables.
Set up a config.yaml. You can copy the included config.yaml.example. If your graphite server is at graphite.local, you can send metrics like:
leadbutt | nc -q0 graphite.local 2003
If you have several configs you want to switch between, you can specify a custom configuration file and send extra data with:
leadbutt --config-file=production.yaml -n 20 | nc -q0 graphite.local 2003
You can even generate configs on the fly and send it in like:
generate_config_from_inventory | leadbutt --config-file=- | nc -q0 graphite.local 2003
What metrics to pull is in a YAML configuration file. See the example config.yaml.example for an idea of what you can do.
Install requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Running test suite:
make test
Verifying tests run over all supported Python versions:
tox
Cloudwatch-to-Graphite was inspired by edasque's cloudwatch2graphite. I was looking to expand it, but I wanted to use boto.
