The best way to configure Kayenta if you are not using Halyard is to copy kayenta.yml and edit it.
Please note that you need the following:
Kayenta uses the object store to save its results, so this is essentially Kayenta's data store.
Metric stores are the actual integration of a metric source (Prometheus, Stackdriver, Atlas, SignalFx, etc) into Kayenta.
Configuration stores are where Kayenta will save the canary configuration it is instructed to save. The Object and Config store can be the same.
- See the reference kayenta.yml for the available config options.
- See the SignalFx Integration Test Config for a working example.
