Add setup scripts for a Graphite server.

compute_engine_scripts/monitoring/graphite_setup.sh

+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Install all the system level dependencies.
+sudo apt-get install --assume-yes apache2 apache2-mpm-worker apache2-utils apache2.2-bin \
+  apache2.2-common libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 build-essential python-dev \
+  libapache2-mod-wsgi libaprutil1-ldap memcached python-cairo-dev python-django python-ldap \
+  python-memcache python-pysqlite2 sqlite3 libapache2-mod-python python-pip fontconfig \
+  monit
+
+# Now install system dependencies that we need, but aren't satisfiable via
+# apt-get.
+sudo pip install --upgrade django==1.5
+sudo pip install --upgrade django-tagging 'twisted<12.0'
+sudo pip install pytz
+sudo pip install pyparsing
+
+# Apache runs as the user www-data and we also need the Graphite server, which
+# is a WSGI Django application, to run as www-data. Sadly under Debian the
+# $HOME directory for www-data is /var/www, which is where files are by
+# default served from for Apache, so we can't store any data there securely,
+# so we create a /home/www-data directory and install Graphite web and its
+# dependencies there.
+sudo mkdir /home/www-data

could this be simplified to the following command line?

sudo adduser www-data

If I recall correctly this didn't work because the www-data user already exists
because Apache created it.

We will shortly be switching to InfluxDB so much of this will be going away.
