"query": "aliasByNode(sumSeriesWithWildcards(collectd.*.memory.{memory-free,memory-cached}, 3), 1)",
"rules": ["critical: < 200MB", "warning: < 400MB", "warning: < historical / 2"] },
{ "name": "CPU",
"format": "percent",
"query": "aliasByNode(sumSeriesWithWildcards(collectd.*.cpu-*.cpu-user, 2), 1)",

]}
```

Requirements
------------

- python (2.7, 3.3, 3.4)
- tornado
- funcparserlib
- pyyaml


Installation
------------

### Python package

**graphite-beacon** can be installed using pip:

pip install graphite-beacon

### Debian package

Using the command line, add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list system config file:

echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/klen/deb /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb-src http://dl.bintray.com/klen/deb /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Install the package using apt-get:

apt-get update
apt-get install graphite-beacon

### Ansible role

There is an ansible role to install the package: https://github.com/Stouts/Stouts.graphite-beacon

## Docker

Build a config.json file and run :

docker run -v /path/to/config.json:/srv/alerting/etc/config.json deliverous/graphite-beacon


Usage
-----

Just run `graphite-beacon`:

You can't use 'macro parameter character #' in math mode graphite-beacon --help
Usage: graphite-beacon [OPTIONS]

Options:

--config Path to an configuration file (JSON/YAML)
(default config.json)
--graphite_url Graphite URL (default http://localhost)
--help show this help information
--pidfile Set pid file

--log_file_max_size max size of log files before rollover
(default 100000000)
--log_file_num_backups number of log files to keep (default 10)
--log_file_prefix=PATH Path prefix for log files. Note that if you
are running multiple tornado processes,
log_file_prefix must be different for each
of them (e.g. include the port number)
--log_to_stderr Send log output to stderr (colorized if
possible). By default use stderr if
--log_file_prefix is not set and no other
logging is configured.
--logging=debug|info|warning|error|none
Set the Python log level. If 'none', tornado
won't touch the logging configuration.
(default info)
```
