The reason being less mental overhead when reading upstream
documentation. Examples can be pasted right into the configuration
instead of translating to Nix attrset first.
The current default value of listenAddress = null blows up:
$ nixos-rebuild build
error: cannot coerce null to a string, at
.../nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/monitoring/prometheus/alertmanager.nix:97:16
With listenAddress = "" we use the same default as upstream and there is
no blow up :-)
...by providing a default value of "no labels" (an empty attrset).
Without this change we get
$ nixos-rebuild test -I nixpkgs=.
building Nix...
building the system configuration...
error: The option `services.prometheus.scrapeConfigs.[definition 1-entry 1].static_configs.[definition 1-entry 1].labels' is used but not defined.
which is unneeded, because labels _are_ optional.
The structured options are incomplete compared to upstream and I think
it will be a maintenance burden to try to keep up. Instead, provide an
option for the raw config file contents (prometheus.yml).
The collectd service runs as an unprivileged user by default, so it does
not leak more information to its data directory than any user can obtain
elsewhere by other means.
If people are running it as root and are worried about information leak,
we can add collectd group and set perms to 750.

Fixes#21198.
* influxdb module: add postStart
* cadvisor module: increase TimeoutStartSec
Under high load, the cadvisor module can take longer than the default 90
seconds to start. This change should hopefully fix the test on Hydra.
Systemd upstream provides targets for networking. This also includes a target network-online.target.
In this PR I remove / replace most occurrences since some of them were even wrong and could delay startup.
Every period, sa1 collects and stores data.
Every 24 hours, sa2 aggregates the previous day's data in to a
report.
Timers and unit configurations were lifted from Fedora's default
units.
This commit implements the changes necessary to start up a graphite carbon Cache
with twisted and start the corresponding graphiteWeb service.
Dependencies need to be included via python buildEnv to include all recursive
implicit dependencies.
Additionally cairo is a requirement of graphiteWeb and pycairo is not a standard
python package (buildPythonPackage) and therefore cannot be included via
buildEnv. It also needs cairo in the Library PATH.

This reverts most of 89e983786a, as those references are sanitized now.
Fixes#10039, at least most of it.
The `sane` case wasn't fixed, as it calls a *function* in pkgs to get
the default value.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions

The advantage of putting the PID file under the ephemeral /run is that
when the machine crashes /run gets cleared allowing graphite to start
once the machine is rebooted.
We also set the PIDFile systemd option so that systemd knows the correct
PID and enables systemd to remove the file after service shut down.
* package statsd node packages separatly since they actually require
nodejs-0.10 or nodejs-0.12 to work (which is ... well old)
* remove statsd packages and its backends from "global" node-packages.json.
i did not rebuild it since for some reason npm2nix command fails. next time
somebody will rerun npm2nix statsd packages are going to be removed.
* statsd service: backends are now provided as strings and not anymore as
packages.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
