Graphite db not getting any data even though access log shows the metrics

Novicer — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:03:10 GMT

I have setup everything according to the documentation "Quick Start: Installing Graphite and Grafana Christopher Madden, NetApp 7 September, 2015".

Harvest version 1.6. Graphite version latest available on GitHub.

I see that the access log shows the below information:

10.23.107.20 - - [30/Jun/2020:12:35:00 +0200] "netapp.perf.C-mode.netapp01.node.netapp01-01.cifs.cifs_op_count.GetAttr 11.9666666666667 1593513300\n" 400 226

10.23.107.20 - - [30/Jun/2020:12:35:01 +0200] "netapp.perf.C-mode.labnetapp01.node.labnetapp01-01.aggr.l01_01_aggr0_STD.plex0.rg0.cp_read_chain 1.53571428571429 1593513301\n" 400 226

10.23.107.20 - - [30/Jun/2020:12:35:08 +0200] "netapp.perf.C-mode.netapp03.svm.bn_backup.vol.bn_fsw.qos_ops 0.241379310344828 1593513306\n" 400 226

I cant see the graphite.db getting modified. It shows a modified date from one week ago. The grafana is connected to the graphite. It doesnt show any data either which confirms there is nothing coming into the DB.

I also checked the "metrics received" graph in graphite dashboard and it is empty too.

Error log show.

Please advice which is the best place to look at to find out the root cause of this issue.
