TICK stack

The TICK stack is a collection of associated technologies that consists of Telegraf, InfluxDB, Chronograf and Kapacitor. They combine to deliver a platform for storing, capturing, monitoring and visualizing data that is in time series.

The TICK stack consists of the following technologies:

• #Telegraf – collection of time sequential data from a range of sources including IoT devices.
• #InfluxDB – high performance and efficient database store for handling high volumes of time-series data.
• #Chronograf – real-time visualization of InfluxDB data.
• #Kapacitor – monitoring and alerting based on views of InfluxDB data and anomalies contained within those views.

Install the telegraf ^AUR or the telegraf-bin ^AUR package.

Main configuration file is stored at /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf. For available plugins, configuration and customization, see upstream documentation.

Also start/enable telegraf.service.

Install the influxdb package.

For configuration, see upstream documentation.

Also start/enable influxdb.service.

Install the chronograf-bin ^AUR package.

Main configuration file is stored at /etc/chronograf/chronograf.conf. For configuration, see upstream documentation.

Also start/enable chronograf.service.

Install the kapacitor ^AUR or the kapacitor-bin ^AUR package.

Main configuration file is stored at /etc/kapacitor/kapacitor.conf. For configuration, see upstream documentation. Many examples can also be found in official github repository.

Also start/enable kapacitor.service.
