Issue/Introduction


When I log into Grafana to access Spectrum Performance View, no data is being displayed. 

Checking the $SPECROOT/insideView/SpectrumInsideView.log file shows the following error unable to resolve localhost.

Environment

Release : All Supported Releases

Component : Spectrum OneClick

Cause


Not yet found:
   /etc/hosts had a proper entry for localhost

  /etc/nsswitch.conf had hosts: set to 'files' first

Resolution


It is not yet known why InsideView could not resolve localhost, however, updating the SpectrumInsideView.conf to use the FQDN allowed InsideView to connect to the InfluxDB on port 9445. 

We updated the SpectrumInsideeView.conf to use the FQDN.

$SPECROOT/insideView/SpectrumInsideView.conf
