Overview

This module manages InfluxDB installation.

Module Description

The InfluxDB module manages both the installation and configuration of InfluxDB. I am planning to extend it to allow management of InfluxDB resources, such as databases, users, and privileges.

Deprecation Warning

Notes for version 5.0.0+:

This module was a refactor of the 4.x version to handle influxdb >= 1.x. Due to the changes in influxdb 1.x, this module should now support future change more easily due to thew way the configuration files are now managed.

Highlights

The module layout out has changed significantly from previous versions.
A new fact was added influxdb_version.
The influxdb.conf.erb file was refactored.
Added and fixed a lot of rspec puppet tests.
Fixed all the beaker tests, they work now.
This module now supports influxdb >= 1.x < 2.x
Major change to the original class parameters now hashes vs individual items.

Notes for version 4.0.0+:

influxdb 1.0.0 contains breaking changes which require changing the data_logging_enabled config attribute to trace_logging_enabled. The other configuration changes are managed by the influxdb.conf.erb template already.

Notes for versions older than 3.1.1:

This release is a major refactoring of the module which means that the API changed in backwards incompatible ways. If your project depends on the old API and you need to use influxdb prior to 0.10.X, please pin your module dependencies to 0.1.2 (0.8.X) or 2.2.2 (0.9.X) version to ensure your environments don't break.

NOTE: Until influxdb 1.0.0 is releases the API of this module may change, however I will try my best to avoid it.

Installation

puppet module install golja/influxdb

Setup

What InfluxDB affects

InfluxDB packages
InfluxDB configuration files
InfluxDB service

Beginning with InfluxDB

If you just want a server installed with the default options you can run include '::influxdb'.

Usage

All interaction for the server is done via influxdb::server.

Install influxdb

class {'influxdb':}

# These are defaults, but demonstrates how you can change sections of data
$global_config => {
  'bind-address'       => ':8088',
  'reporting-disabled' => false,
}

class {'influxdb':
  global_config  => $global_config,
  manage_repos   => true,
  manage_service => true,
  version        => '1.2.0',
}

Enable Graphite plugin with one database

# Most of these will be defaults, unless otherwise noted.

}

Enable Collectd plugin

# most of these are defaults, unless otherwise noted
