InfluxDB

Chef cookbook to install and configure InfluxDB.

Usage and Resources

The InfluxDB cookbook comes with a Vagrantfile. Test using vagrant up. Simply running the default recipe should be sufficient. Real tests coming soon!

For rendering the config, set the parameter under node[:influxdb][:config]:

default[:influxdb][:config]['MyParameter'] = 'val'

The following gems are used by the InfluxDB::Helpers module:

• InfluxDB gem
• TOML

This cookbook ships with three LWRPs for managing the install, users, and databases:

influxdb

This resource installs and configures InfluxDB based on node[:influxdb][:config]:

influxdb 'main' do
  source node[:influxdb][:source]
  checksum node[:influxdb][:checksum]
  config node[:influxdb][:config]
  action :create
end

The checksum and config parameters are optional.

influxdb_database

Configures an InfluxDB database.

influxdb_database 'my_db' do
  action :create
end

influxdb_user

Configures a user to interact with InfluxDB databases.

influxdb_user 'user' do
  password 'changeme'
  databases ['my_db']
  action :create
end

influxdb_admin

Configures a cluster admin to interact with InfluxDB.

influxdb_admin 'admin' do
  password 'changeme'
  action :create
end

Client Libraries

Right now, this cookbook only supports the Ruby and CLI client libraries so as not to add too many dependencies. That might change in the near future. By default both flavors are disabled. Enable e.g. Ruby via:

node.default[:influxdb][:client][:ruby][:enable] = true
