Quickstart

Prerequisites

Graphite

If you don’t already have a Graphite server running on your network, you will need to set one up. See the Graphite web site for details on setting up and configuring Graphite

Pip

Pip is the best way to install python packages like Grinder to Graphite. If you don’t have pip, there are many easy ways to get it. See

http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html

Grinder to Graphite

Get it!

Install it with pip

pip install grinder_to_graphite

Configure it!

g2g comes with a command-line option to generate a sample config file

g2g -e

This will generate a file named ‘g2g.sample.yaml’ which you can use as the basis for creating your own configuration.

Run it!

Once you have your Grinder logs in place that you want to ingest into Graphite, invoke g2g

g2g <config file>

View it!

Your Grinder test data should now be visible in Graphite
