Graphite

Description

Installs and configures Graphite. Much of the work in this cookbook is done by Heavy Water Software and Hector Castro. This version is configured specifically for Amazon Linux as I couldn't get any others to work out of the box on the Amazon AMIs. This can be integrated into the great StatsD library from Etsy for realtime statistics.
