No Graphs, Just Lists

[Dieterbe]

can you check your web developer tools in your browser, more specifically the network tab.
usually you'll see errors in the console or in one of the network requests.

most often graphite returning CORS errors. (did you do the steps in https://github.com/vimeo/graph-explorer#configuration-of-graphite-server ?)

Fixed! There were two issues.

1. POST was not in the allowed list
2. the config.py's graphite_url had localhost and it needed to be the real ip or hostname of the server even though they are hosted on the same box

Thanks for the help, you rock!

2. prompted me to open #49
   re 1) is there anything I can do to prevent other people new to GE missing this too?
   you're not the first one to miss https://github.com/vimeo/graph-explorer#configuration-of-graphite-server

how do i make this more obvious?

I have been working with Chef and Vagrant to create test environments. The graphite Chef cookbook does not include the POST config. I corrected it manually but then ran Chef again later and forgot that would overwrite my manual correction. I have since then edited the graphite cookbook to include the POST apache config. I also wrote a graph-explorer cookbook and set the graphite host url from the Vagrantfile to make the host ip of the Vagrant box created.

If you included an example like this in you github account if might help. I would be happy to contribute the the graph-explorer cookbook and Vagrantfile I currently have.

example like what? like a chef cookbook? i don't really want to maintain such a thing but i would gladly point to yours if it's publicly available

[jflowers]

:-) me too, I don't want to maintain a Chef Cookbook

#52 will fix most of this problem for other users.
