How to install influxdb and grafana?
enter image description hereI tried to used the instructions from this link https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster/blob/master/docs/influxdb.md but I was not able to install it. specifically I dont know what this instruction means "Ensure that kubecfg.sh is exported." I dont even know where I can find this I did this sudo find / -name "kubecfg.sh" and I found no results.
moving on to the next step "kubectl create -f deploy/kube-config/influxdb/" when I did this it says kube-system not found I am using latest version of kubernetes version 1.0.1
These instructions are broken can any one provide some instructions on how to install this? I have kubernetes cluster up and running I was able to create and delete pods and so on and default is the only namespace I have when i do kubectl get pods,svc,rc --all-namespaces
Changing kube-system to default in the yaml files is just getting me one step further but I am unable to access the UI and so on. so installing kube-system makes more sense however I dont know how to do it and any instructions on installing influxdb and grafana to get it up and running will be very helpful

I am using latest version of kubernetes version 1.0.1
FYI, the latest version is v1.2.3.
... it says kube-system not found
You can create the kube-system namespace by running kubectl create namespace kube-system.
Hopefully once you've created the kube-system namespace the rest of the instructions will work.
We had the same issue deploying grafana/influxdb. So we dug into it:
Per https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster/blob/master/docs/influxdb.md since we don’t have an external load balancer, we changed the port type on the grafana service to NodePort which made it accessible at port 30397.
Then looked at the controller configuration here: https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster/blob/master/deploy/kube-config/influxdb/influxdb-grafana-controller.yaml and noticed the comment about using the api-server proxy which we wouldn’t be doing by exposing the NodePort, so we deleted the GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL environment variable from the config. At that point Grafana at least seemed to be running, but it looked like it was having trouble reaching influxdb.
We then changed the datasource to use localhost instead of monitoring-influxd and was able to connect. We're getting data on the cluster usage now, though individual pod data doesn’t seem to be working.
