NetApp Harvest Graphite Carbon GAIResolver issue

[shashii82]

All, we recently upgraded our NABox OVA to beta version 5.2b and suddenly data collection stopped working. After some analysis we came to know that the GAIResolver module is missing. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, you probably mean v 2.5b, right? Did you verify md5 after download?

@yannb, maybe you can look at this? I only worked with 2.3 until now.

[yannb]

That's indeed a known bug with a specific version of carbon.

For some reason it seems sometimes NAbox updates itself when it's connected to internet.

I would try re-applying the most recent 2.5b update available on https://nabox.org/downloads/

Le me know how it goes

[shashii82]

Thanks, we haven't get chance to do re-apply the update but looks like there is no alternative. 

[shashii82]

yes, previous beta version was indeed working correctly. do you think any other alternative or solution?

[yannb]

Did you re-apply the update? It's not breaking anything, just upload the tgz in the UI

[shashii82]

I haven't tried this for almost a week now.

/opt/graphite/lib/carbon/client.py

comment line 15

"from carbon.resolver import setUpRandomResolver"

and add just after this code just below

try:
    from carbon.resolver import setUpRandomResolver
except ImportError:
    setUpRandomResolver = None

save

restart cache-relay

systemctl start graphite_carbon_relay.service

@Raviere Great, thank you Raviere! it did worked for me like a charm. My grafana was not working for almost two weeks.

[yannb]

@shashii82, were you running the beta version as well?

[shashii82]

@yannb Yes, we did updated it with the recent beta version and it stopped working. But with the help of Raviere I did modified the /opt/graphite/lib/carbon/client.py and it started. However, I'm getting the another error while starting the carbon-relay service i.e.

carbon-relay.py[18145]: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cffi/model.py:531: UserWarning: 'point_conversion_form_t' has no values explicitly defined; guessing that it is equivalent to 'unsigned int'

carbon-relay.py[18145]: % self._get_c_name())

I hope this won't affect the reporting or anything.

[shashii82]

Does this have any impact to the reporting? Please find below error while starting the carbon-relay service:
