[RC33] InfluxDB Graphite service won't start unless protocol and consistency-level are specified in config file

[labrown]

RC33 won't start when Graphite service is enabled unless you also specify protocol and consistency-level in the configuration file, a la:

[[graphite]]
  enabled = true
  consistency-level = "one"
  protocol = "tcp"

Anything less than this results in influxdb not running.

Leave out consistency-level and this happens:

/opt/influxdb/influxd -pidfile /var/run/influxdb/influxd.pid -config /etc/opt/influxdb/generated.conf

Leave out procol and you get:

This is a bug, since it should default to One -- thanks for the report @labrown. I will fix this.

[labrown]

I see that protocol has a default for 'tcp' but that doesn't appear to get picked up either. More bug?

[otoolep]

Should be fixed by PR 2895

Thanks for the report @labrown
