Hickwall

A metric collection and reporting daemon for major platforms.

Under heavy construction!

##Build From Source

You need install tools/godep first. which is a golang dependencies management system. It saved all third-party dependencies under Godeps.

# build project from source
godep go build .

# cross build windows binary
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 godep go build .

##Usage

# print help info
hickwall help

sudo hickwall install

sudo hickwall start

##Configuration

there are two ways to config hickwall client.

• Use local configuration file: hickwall can run standalone with all configurations in shared/config.yml

• Use Remote configuration service: hickwall can also retrive configuration from etcd cluster without encryption. but you have to write a minimal shared/config.yml to tell hickwall where to find etcd.

  remote_config_protocal: "etcd"
  remote_config_url: "http://127.0.0.1:4001"
  remote_config_path: "/config/host/DST54869.json"
  

Development

currently we support both influxdb v0.9.0-rc7 and v0.8.8. while developing. you have to copy and paste "github.com/influxdb/influxdb" to "github.com/influxdb/influxdb_088" and then checkout -b v0.8.8 in influxdb_088 folder.
