Hi,

I've followed the install guide for the graphite project and, as far as I can tell, my test metrics aren't being collected, even though everything seems to be correctly in place. I double-checked every component of the stack and I believe I trace the error to the carbon component, as seen below:

I'm using Ubuntu 12.0.4.1 LTS and stable branches 0.9.x from github.

I'm in the process of evaluating this new graphing solution for my company and would love to show them some results... so this is kind of a bummer.

Thanks

Hi,

exactly the same bug for me, on Ubuntu using the latest stable release 0.9.10:

I'm also evaluating Graphite solution for monitoring, but can't make it work.
Anyone for helping us ?

Thanks
Thomas.

Revert to previous 0.9.x from launchpad to test it until this bug is fixed.

Download the archives from
https://launchpad.net/graphite/+milestone/0.9.9and follow the
instructions as if you're checking out from git

Hi guys,

I just reinstalled the whole application 0.9.9 (web, carbon and whisper) from scratch following this guide:
http://geek.michaelgrace.org/2011/09/how-to-install-graphite-on-ubuntu/

and now it works.
Thanks.

[Nathan Przybyszewski (theshibz)]

When I installed, I used the "0.9.x (stable) branch" instructions to download the packages via git with the "git checkout 0.9.x" command. I think that this "stable" branch isn't so stable. I found that downloading the latest 0.9.10 tarballs directly from https://launchpad.net/graphite/+download/ and extracting them gave much better results.

[Michael Leinartas (mleinartas)]

This was fixed by merging in https://github.com/graphite-project/whisper/commit/ee545cb09961d0ecad0ed8e0f37d3d4039afead5 to 0.9.x which had been missed at the time.
