Vagrant box to easily get OpenTSDB up and running through Vagrant (with a Chef provisionning)

Done so far:

• installs HBase as listed at OpenTSDB/Setup HBase (recipe opentsdb::install)
• starts HBase if needed (recipe opentsdb::install)
• installs OpenTSDB from source (recipe opentsdb::install)
• creates OpenTSDB hbase tables (only if needed) (recipe opentsdb::install)
• installs tcollector (dedicated recipe opentsdb::tcollector) (recipe opentsdb::tcollector)
• starts a TSD process (recipe opentsdb::opentsdb)
• starts sample metrics gathering (recipe opentsdb::opentsdb)

• Vagrant
• VirtualBox

• The Vagrant file suggests to use a centos box but it may work with other linux distributions.
• The Vagrant file suggests an url for a centos box if you don't have any base box registred under the name centos63, but you should be able to use any centos box (see available boxes at Vagrantbox.es)

• Install Vagrant
• Install VirtualBox
• git clone https://github.com/looztra/opentsdb-vagrant-box.git
• cd opentsdb-vagrant-box
• vagrant up
• wait several minutes the first time (hbase downloading, opentsdb building, ...)
  • if provisionning fails, you may need to adjust according to your configuration and restart it using vagrant provision
• when your VM is up and provisionning is done you should be able to access the OpenTSDB UI at http://localhost:4242 (check your iptables and firewall settings if needed)

The Chef recipes provided are not relevant for a production usage ( HBase installation does not use HDFS and does not run on a cluster for instance). This VM can be used to give a try to OpenTSDB or to developp something in the OpenTSDB ecosystem (like a new Dashboard UI or a Metrics connector for instance :]).
