Graphite Web composer does not load fully, static files missing.

[shirishkale]

I have installed as per the instructions Carbon, Whisper and Graphite web.
On the graph database neo4j the configuration file has all the required configurations.
Carbon agent seems to be running, it is also capturing the data correctly as I see changes in wsp file sizes
But when I go to graphite web no metric is displayed.

I have been trying for more than a month. Not sure if its an issue with my setup or I amdoing something wrong,

Hi @shirishkale ,
Could you elaborate an issue, please? Is Graphite web interface working at all?
If yes - is any other metric visible?
What is in Graphite logs?

[deniszh]

PS: whisper files are preallocated, so, have fixed size and not increasing in size.

Let me further expand on my issue.

I have a POC machine on which I have a 4 node causal cluster, 3 core + 1 read replica. I have followed instructions to install Carbon followed by whisper as well as graphite-web. Once the neo4j causal cluster is started and carbon startup. I see 4 directories populated under "/data/graphite/storage/whisper" named as core1,core2,core3 and readrep1 specifying 4 node metrics captured by prefix which I have added in the neo4j.conf for the respective nodes of my causal cluster.

This was my proof that Carbon and whisper seems to be working? Is there any reason that should not be the case?

Similarly I have installed graphite web, and as per the URL specified when I go there I see this blank graphite website.

As per the installation instructions this should have displayed me my metrics but it does not.

Static files are missong. Did you run collectstatic?

No. But when I try to run, it complains there is no module like graphite.settings.

django-admin.py collectstatic --noinput --settings=graphite.settings

Then your Pythonpath is broken

[deniszh]

Are you running this command in /opt/graphite directory? You can also install whitenoise module. Check this answer on stackowerflow - https://stackoverflow.com/a/44734510

I need to make some time to finish this #2409 should solve PYTHONPATH and collectstatic issues.

[shirishkale]

Then your Pythonpath is broken

Once I fixed the PYTHONPATH and ran collectstatic. Are there any other steps. I restarted graphite-web after collectstatic and still there is no metrics displayed in graphite-web

[deniszh]

Did you check link which I mentioned? You need to set up serving for static files from webserver or you can try whitenoise module.

Thanks Guys. After installing whitenoise, I am able to see the graphs. Thanks for your help

[shirishkale]

I just uninstalled everything and reinstalled it with the same steps but now in spite of having whitenoise I can not see any data in the graph. In fact the metric is empty even when I can see the files in /data/graphite/storage/whisper.

How to fix this?

[shirishkale]

I am also getting "WARNING: whisper module could not be loaded, whisper support disabled"
in webapp process.log which was not coming before but now it has started.

[piotr1212]

You have to install whisper and it must be in your pythonpath (also in the pythonpath of the process running the webapp)
