Graphite

I can't view the main dashboard

Asked by Abocaman

Hello,

 This morning I installed graphite in my machine (Ubuntu) to do some test. I installed all the python dependencies and download ext and graphite. I uncompress graphite and I executed the pyhon install script and after the post install script. In the process I put the root password for the login/logout webapp. Also I put the Apache configuration file in the properly path and restart apache.

Now I can see the main graphite windows, I can loggin/logout with root. I can execute the graphite prompt CLI. But I can't see any tree or graphic. I start carbon in the same machine using the apache user www-data and execute the example-client.py

root@cpu2026:/opt/graphite/installation/graphite-0.9.4/examples# ./example-client.py

Somebody know what I am doing wrong? Why I can't get the data and graph from my machine.

Thanks in advance.

Since the example-client.py script is not throwing any errors then the data is at least getting to the graphite storage backend (carbon). I would check the carbon logs which are $GRAPHITE_ROOT/carbon/logs/*.log

Please post any errors you see from these logs while running the example-client.py script. If you don't see errors then you should see a log entry saying that a datapoint was written. If that is the case then look on your filesystem under $GRAPHITE_ROOT/storage/whisper/system/ see if you have any *.wsp files.

Can you help with this problem?
