Trigger Specification

This specification describes the graphite trigger that scales based on metrics in Graphite.

triggers:
- type: graphite
  metadata:
    # Required
    serverAddress: http://<graphite-host>:81
    query: stats.counters.http.hello-world.request.count.count # Note: query must return a vector/scalar single element response
    threshold: '10.5'
    activationThreshold: '5'
    queryTime: '-10Minutes' # Note: Query time in from argv Seconds/Minutes/Hours

Parameter list:

serverAddress - Address of Graphite
query - Query to run.
threshold - Target value to trigger scaling actions. (Default: 100, Optional, This value can be a float)
activationThreshold - Target value for activating the scaler. Learn more about activation here.(Default: 0, Optional, This value can be a float)
queryTime - Relative time range to execute query against. Please see the graphite API docs for more information.

Authentication Parameters

Graphite Scaler supports one type of authentication - basic authentication

Basic authentication:

authMode: It must contain basic in case of Basic Authentication. Specify this in trigger configuration.
username - This is a required field. Provide the username to be used for basic authentication.
password - Provide the password to be used for authentication. For convenience, this has been marked optional, because many applications implement basic auth with a username as apikey and password as empty.

Examples

apiVersion: keda.sh/v1alpha1
kind: ScaledObject
metadata:
  name: graphite-scaledobject
  namespace: default
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    name: my-deployment
  triggers:
  - type: graphite
    metadata:
      serverAddress: http://<graphite-host>:81
      threshold: '100'
      query: maxSeries(keepLastValue(reportd.*.gauge.detect.latest_max_time.value, 1))
      queryTime: '-1Minutes'

Here is an example of a Graphite Scaler with Basic Authentication, define the Secret and TriggerAuthentication as follows

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: keda-graphite-secret
  namespace: default
data:
  username: "dXNlcm5hbWUK" # Must be base64
  password: "cGFzc3dvcmQK"
---
apiVersion: keda.sh/v1alpha1
kind: TriggerAuthentication
metadata:
  name: keda-graphite-creds
  namespace: default
spec:
  secretTargetRef:
    - parameter: username
      name: keda-graphite-secret
      key: username
    - parameter: password
      name: keda-graphite-secret
      key: password
