Is there a mailing list for Descartes? What's the best way to ask for specific help?

[rberger]

Not sure where the best place to ask general questions such as:

I've got Descartes running from a git clone (c8791fff26), but I can't figure out how to import graphs from a running graphite instance.

I did export GRAPHITE_URL=http://graphite-monitor.runa.com before running forman and nothing shows up in the saved graphs list for Import Graphs.

Do I need to give it a more specific url? (note I can view graphite at http://graphite-monitor.runa.com which is normally protected by a firewall, but not basic auth)

Let me know if there is a better place to ask such questions.

Thanks!

@rberger This is still the best place to ask questions, aside from Twitter (@obfuscurity) for short questions.

Have you setup your Apache server for CORS? https://github.com/obfuscurity/descartes#graphite-server-configuration

You should be able to self-diagnose in your browser's inspector.

• Open the "graphs" page in Descartes
• Right-click anywhere on the page and choose Inspect Element (Chrome)
• Click on the Network tab
• Click on the Import Graphs button in Descartes. You should see at least one connection out to your Graphite instance. You should be able to see if it's having a problem (e.g. timing out, returning 4xx errors, etc) or if it returns successfully.
