Graphite

======= This is a fork of the original repo by James Martin. It's had a couple of things altered so it will run on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit.

This role installs and configures graphite.

This role also installs and configures mysql server for graphite's data store because I've found the default database (SQLite) unreliable.

Once the role is complete, you can login to Graphite's web UI with username: admin, password: admin.

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: graphite
  roles:
     - { role: jmartin.graphite }
