carbonapi: replacement graphite API server

Build Status GoDoc PR Stats Issues Stats

We are using to host our packages!

CarbonAPI supports a significant subset of graphite functions [see COMPATIBILITY]. In our testing it has shown to be 5x-10x faster than requesting data from graphite-web.

For requirements see Requirements section below.

Installation

At this moment we are building packages for CentOS 6, CentOS 7, Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04. Installation guides are available on packagecloud (see the links below).

Stable versions: Stable repo

Autobuilds (master, might be unstable): Autobuild repo

General information

Carbonzipper can be configured by environment variables or by config file. For an example see carbonapi.example.yaml

$ ./carbonapi -config /etc/carbonapi.yaml

Request metrics will be dumped to graphite if coresponding config options are set, or if the GRAPHITEHOST/GRAPHITEPORT environment variables are found.

Request data will be stored in memory (default) or in memcache.

Configuration by environment variables

Every parameter in config file are mapped to environment variable. I.E.

concurency: 20
cache:
   # Type of caching. Valid: "mem", "memcache", "null"
   type: "mem"
upstreams:
    backends:
        - "http://10.0.0.1:8080"
        - "http://10.0.0.2:8080"

That config can be replaced by

CONCURENCY=20
CACHE_TYPE=mem
UPSTREAMS_BACKENDS="http://10.0.0.1:8080 http://10.0.0.2:8080"

You should be only aware of logging: because carbonapi support a list of logger, env variables will replace only first logger.

If you apply variable LOGGER_FILE=stdout to config:

logger:
    - logger: ""
      file: "stderr"
      level: "debug"
      encoding: "console"
      encodingTime: "iso8601"
      encodingDuration: "seconds"
    - logger: ""
      file: "carbonapi.log"
      level: "info"
      encoding: "json"

it will be equal to config:

logger:
    - logger: ""
      file: "stdout" # Changed only here
      level: "debug"
      encoding: "console"
      encodingTime: "iso8601"
      encodingDuration: "seconds"
    - logger: ""
      file: "carbonapi.log" # Not changed
      level: "info"
      encoding: "json"

Requirements

You need to have Go >= 1.8 to build carbonapi from sources. Building with Go 1.7 is not supported for versions >0.8.0

CarbonAPI uses protobuf-based protocol to talk with underlying storages. For current version the compatibility list is:

  1. carbonzipper >= 0.50
  2. go-carbon >= 0.9.0 (Note: you need to enable carbonserver in go-carbon).
  3. carbonserver@master (Note: you should probably switch to go-carbon in that case).
  4. graphite-clickhouse any. That's alternative storage that doesn't use Whisper.
  5. carbonapi >= 0.5. Note: starting from carbonapi 3596e9647611e1f833a911d663747271623ec003 (post 0.8) carbonapi can be used as a zipper's replacement

OSX Build Notes

Some additional steps may be needed to build carbonapi with cairo rendering on MacOSX.

Install cairo:

$ brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz

$ brew install cairo --with-x11
