Graphite-API returns 500

[ghost]

Hello guys,

I have to be honest: I don't know what is causing this problem, so I'm starting here and hope to get a hint or wink into the right direction. My setup look's as following:

Cassandra 2.2 Graphite-API 1.0.1 Cyanite 0.4.5 (pip install cyanite) and also pyr/cynite

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein -O /usr/bin/lein && chmod 755 /usr/bin/lein && /usr/bin/lein && cd /tmp && git clone https://github.com/pyr/cyanite && cd /tmp/cyanite && /usr/bin/lein uberjar

Collectd 5.5 Grafana 2.2

vim /etc/graphite-api.yaml

cyanite:
  urls:

netstat is showing all ports that I need:

My tests look as following:

I'm curling the Graphite-API port on 8013, to get all metrics. Of course the Cassandra DB is empty at the beginning:

I'm just getting an [] back. After starting the collector (collectd), my curl's are producing a 500 in the apache access logs and I'm not able to query for data:

Any ideas on that?

If you have the latest cyanite, this is most likely this: https://github.com/pyr/cyanite/issues/130

There's a patch proposed for graphite-cyanite. Can you have a look? It could be used as a temporary solution -- there will be a proper fix in pyr/cyanite later.

Hey @brutasse,

thanks for the fast response. Actually the replies belong to me :) What patch are you talking about?

Cheers, Szop

[brutasse]

Ah sorry, wrong issue! Patch is here: https://github.com/pyr/cyanite/issues/119#issuecomment-143243827

By the way. After my Apache Graphite-API started to report me 500, I'm still able to query the Cyanite API port on 8080

Cheers, Szop

Yeah, basically the return format for cyanite's /paths endpoint changed and graphite-cyanite crashes on the new return format. Ideally the cyanite api should be updated to use the old format again but it's easier to have a workaround in graphite-cyanite.

Thanks @brutasse ! I guess this issue can be closed now.

Cool, thanks!
