[Q] How to find the version of an ancient installed graphite server

preetmyob commented 4 months ago

I have inherited a really old graphite server that was installed about 8-10 years ago. I'm trying to work out which version of graphite this is. We can access the main page, but we have no accounts or logins to the dashboard.

What would be the best way to discover this by looking at the installed folders, please?

$ curl -sv http://localhost/metrics/find?query=carbon.*
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)
> GET /metrics/find?query=carbon.* HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.35.0
> Host: localhost
> Accept: */*

You can also try to call curl -sv http://localhost/version

Or look for WEBAPP_VERSION in webapp/graphite/settings.py

If it's < 1.2.0 - it's exact version. If 1.2.0-dev - it's installed from master and then it's hard to say.

curl -sv http://localhost/version

This gives 404

Or look for WEBAPP_VERSION in webapp/graphite/settings.py This is more promising, I grepped for this

grep --exclude-dir=storage -rnwi '/opt/graphite/' -e "WEBAPP_VERSION" and got /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/settings.py:29:WEBAPP_VERSION = '0.9.12'

So it looks like this is 0.9.12. Would you agree?
