A HTTP server that helps Grafana read RRD files via Grafana Simple JSON Datasource plugin
A simple HTTP server that reads RRD files and responds to requests from Grafana with Grafana Simple JSON Datasource plugin.
This server supports all endpoints (urls) defined in the Grafana Simple JSON Datasource plugin documentation but:
*
as a wildcard in the target
values (but not for ds
) for the /query
endpoint.Install librrd-dev (rrdtool).
On Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install librrd-dev
On CentOS:
sudo yum install rrdtool-devel
On openSUSE
sudo zypper in rrdtool-devel
On Mac:
brew install rrdtool
Get the package.
go get github.com/doublemarket/grafana-rrd-server
Otherwise, download the latest release, gunzip it, and put the file in a directory included in $PATH
:
gunzip grafana-rrd-server_linux_amd64.gz
Run the server.
grafana-rrd-server
You can use the following options:
-h
: Shows help messages.-p
: Specifies server port. (default: 9000)-i
: Specifies server listen address. (default: any)-r
: Specifies a directory path keeping RRD files. (default: "./sample/")
/search
endpoint.-a
: Specifies the annotations file. It should be a CSV file which has a title line at the top like the sample file.-s
: Default graph step in second. (default: 10)
$ rrdtool info [rrd file] | grep step
step = 300
Optionally set up systemd unit:
useradd grafanarrd
