Blueflood is a multi-tenant, distributed metric processing system. Blueflood is capable of ingesting, rolling up and serving metrics at a massive scale.

The latest code will always be here on Github.

git clone https://github.com/rackerlabs/blueflood.git
cd blueflood

You can run the entire suite of tests using Maven:

mvn test integration-test

Build an 'uber jar' using maven:

mvn package -P all-modules

The uber jar will be found in ${BLUEFLOOD_DIR}/blueflood-all/target/blueflood-all-${VERSION}-jar-with-dependencies.jar. This jar contains all the dependencies necessary to run Blueflood with a very simple classpath.

The best place to start is the 10 minute guide. In a nutshell, you must do this:

java -cp /path/to/uber.jar \
-Dblueflood.config=file:///path/to/blueflood.conf \
-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///path/to/log4j.properties \
com.rackspacecloud.blueflood.service.BluefloodServiceStarter

Each configuration option can be found in Configuration.java. Each of those can be overridden on the command line by doing:

-DCONFIG_OPTION=NEW_VALUE
