[Harvest] Graphite is not work

kkusunoki — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 21:54:00 GMT

I followed this guide to install graphite on ubuntu 14.04(VM).

I completely did all steps to install/configure Graphite.

On step 5 "Verify Operations"(p.20), finally, I did "echo "test.metric 50 `date +%s`" | nc 127.0.0.1 2003" on this VM.

But I cannot see anything on the right tree of graphite-web.

Expecting misconfigured carbon, I checked the logs and db as follows.

root@harvest-graphite:~# date

root@harvest-graphite:~# echo "test.metric 50 `date +%s`" | nc 127.0.0.1 2003

-rw-r--r-- 1 _graphite _graphite 17308 Mar  3 13:33 metric.wsp

But obviously "metric" is successfully listened and created.

Could you tell me how I could see test metric on the graph of graphite-web?

Any suggestion is really appreciated.

I'd like to close this.

I was so stupid that I didn't notice ublock blocked only "carbon" on graphite-web.

I didn't recognized this 'cause ublock don't report that it block "carbon" without pointing/clicking Graphite...

Sorry for bothering you.

Hi @kkusunoki,

No worries, glad you solved it because the linux layer details you provided were looking good!
