Kapacitor Run Script

This folder contains a script for configuring and initializing Kapacitor on an GCP Compute Engine server. This script has been tested on the following operating systems:

  • Ubuntu 18.04

There is a good chance it will work on other flavors of Debian, CentOS, and RHEL as well.

Quick start

This script assumes you installed it, plus all of its dependencies (including Kapacitor itself), using the install-kapacitor module.

This will:

  1. Fill out the templated configuration file with user supplied values.

  2. Start Kapacitor on the machine.

We recommend using the run-kapacitor command as part of the instance Startup Script, so that it executes when the Compute Instance is first booting.

See the examples folder for fully-working sample code.

Command line Arguments

Run run-kapacitor --help to see all available arguments.

Usage: run-kapacitor [options]

This script can be used to configure and initialize Kapacitor. This script has been tested with Ubuntu 18.04.

Options:

  --auto-fill   Search the Kapacitor config file for KEY and replace it with VALUE. May be repeated.

Example:

  run-kapacitor --auto-fill '<__HOST_NAME__>=0.0.0.0' --auto-fill '<__INFLUXDB_URL__>=http://localhost:8086'

Debugging tips and tricks

Some tips and tricks for debugging issues with your Kapacitor agent:

  • Use systemctl status kapacitor to see if systemd thinks the Kapacitor process is running.
