The aim of this project is to deploy Chronograf on Vagrant instances.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

What things you need to run this Ansible playbook :

• Vagrant must be installed on your computer
• Update the Vagrant file based on your computer (CPU, memory), if needed
• Update the operating system to deploy in the Vagrant file (default: Ubuntu)
• Download the Ansible requirements:

$ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

A good point with Vagrant is that you can create, update and destroy all architecture easily with some commands.

Be aware that you need to be in the Vagrant directory to be able to run the commands.

To deploy the Chronograf client on baremetal, you have to configure the variable chronograf_install_type to baremetal in the file chronograf.yml before running the playbook :

[...]
vars:
  chronograf_install_type: baremetal
[...]

Once it's done, you just have to provision the Vagrant instance and the Ansible playbook will automatically be called :

$ vagrant up

If everything run has expected, you should reached the web interface : http://10.0.0.11:8888/

To deploy the Chronograf client on Docker, you have to configure the variable chronograf_install_type to docker in the file chronograf.yml before running the playbook :

[...]
vars:
  chronograf_install_type: docker
[...]

Once it's done, you just have to provision the Vagrant instance and the Ansible playbook will automatically be called :

$ vagrant up

If everything run has expected, you should have a Docker container named chronograf. You should reached the web interface : http://10.0.0.11:8888/

To deploy the Chronograf client on Kubernetes, you have to configure the variable chronograf_install_type to kubernetes in the file chronograf.yml before running the playbook :

[...]
vars:
  chronograf_install_type: kubernetes
[...]

Once it's done, you just have to provision the Vagrant instance and the Ansible playbook will automatically be called :

$ vagrant up

If everything run has expected, you should have a namespace and a pod named chronograf. You should reached the web interface : http://10.0.0.11:8888/

To destroy the Vagrant resources created, just run this command :

$ vagrant destroy

This section list some simple command to use and manage the playbook and the Vagrant hosts.

To update the Chronograf configuration with Ansible, you just have to run the Ansible playbook chronograf.yml with this command :

$ ansible-playbook chronograf.yml

To update the Chronograf configuration with Vagrant, you just have to run provisioning part of the Vagrant file :

$ vagrant provision

To be able to connect to a Vagrant instance, you should use the CLI which is configured to automatically use the default SSH key :

$ vagrant ssh chronograf01
