[Question #289052]: Aggregator non root config to start

 

New question #289052 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/289052

Hi,

I'll start with my objective. I'm trying to configure the following:
AGGREGATOR 1 --> AGGREGATOR 2 --> AGGREGATOR CACHE
(3 different apps on 3 different boxes)

So far if apps are reporting to AGGREGATOR 2 everything is running fine. Now we had to add AGGREGATOR 1 for scaling reasons but I don't have root access there. So I downloaded the sources  and installed with:
python setup.py install --install-lib=/opt/local/stats/carbon/lib --install-data=/opt/local/stats/carbon --install-script=/opt/local/stats/carbon/bin

I created the aggregator.rules and carbon.conf where I changed the destination to be AGGREGATOR 2. I was also missing some dependencies: Twisted, Zope.interface, setuptools so I build them and added the egg in my pythonpath.
Then I modified carbon-aggregator.py and added:

from pkg_resources import require
require('setuptools')
require('zope.interface')
require('twisted')

But running the following:
python ../bin/carbon-aggregator.py --config=./carbon.conf --rules=./aggregation-rules.conf start

No database plugin implemented for 'whisper'

Why is whisper required?
I'm on CentOS release 5.8 (Final)

I feel like I'm missing something but I can't find lots of documentation about installing from source and just the aggregator daemon.
Thanks in advance for any help
