Graphite Reporter

Reaper can be configured to periodically report metrics to a Graphite host. This can be done using the following properties in the Reaper configuration YAML file.

Metrics:
  frequency: 1 minute
  reporters:
    - type: graphite
      host: <host_address>
      port: <port_number>
      prefix: <prefix>

Where:

  • host_address is hostname of the Graphite server to report to.
  • port_number is port of the Graphite server to report to.
  • prefix is prefix for Metric key names that are reported to the Graphite server. Typically this will be the hostname sending the metrics to the Graphite server.
