To enable reporting to InfluxDB:
[outputs]
[outputs.influxdb]
database = "ostent"
urls = ["http://127.0.0.1:8086"]
Other outputs sections would be [outputs.graphite]
and [outputs.librato]
.
go get github.com/ostrost/ostent
ostent
to run.
See also Two kind of builds.
cd $(go list -f {{.Dir}} github.com/ostrost/ostent)
make init
once.npm install
once, optional, sets up assets and template rebuilding.gulp watch
ormake
after changes.
make
rebuilds these commited to the repo files:
share/assets/bindata.*.go
share/assets/css/*.css
share/assets/js/*/*.js
share/templates/*.html
share/templates/bindata.*.go
share/js/*.jsx
If you don't change source files, content re-generated should not differ from the commited.
gulp watch
- watches share/{js,style,templatesorigin} and rebuilds dependants on changes
- does live-reloading
ostent
code run - acceps all ostent flags e.g.
gulp watch -b 127.0.0.1:8080
Standalone and release binaries produced by make
(or go get -tags bin
)
include embeded template and assets.
Non-bin builds made by gulp watch
and go get
- serve assets and use template from actual files
- have a set of flags facilitating debugging etc.
