heroku install from scratch using script causes I/O errors when posting to librato #124

Hi-

I just installed a fresh heroku app running l2met using the tarball and setup script. After setting up the drain, I see l2met processing incoming requests in the logs, but no data in librato.

I am seeing these lines in the logs which makes me believe that the data posts to librato are failing:

2013-12-04T22:31:46.709885+00:00 app[web.1]: measure.librato.error user=__REDACTED__@heroku.com msg=Post https://metrics-api.librato.com/v1/metrics: read tcp 54.225.173.29:443: i/o timeout attempt=0

any ideas? i tested the credentials i supplied to the setup script by using command-line curl calls to the api and they worked fine, i was able to submit metrics and see them in librato.

thanks!

Hello, @jakeyr. Did you know that Librato now runs l2met as a service? They have a bullet proof setup and unless you are just wanting to hack, I would highly recommend you use their service.

As a side note, I think I am going to make a note of this in the README.

Awesome, thanks for the tip, I'll switch to that.

Meanwhile, just to satisfy curiosity... any idea what I did wrong here?

Thanks!

So the log line is reporting that the POST operation to librato's api timed out. You can increase the timeout on this operations via the outlet-ttl flag. (e.g. $ ./l2met -outlet-ttl=5s)
