Issue/Introduction

When trying to configure Spectrum performance view we see the following

 

% cd /spectrum/influx

% ./influxd -config influxdb_spectrum.conf &

% ./influx -port 9445 -database ##### -execute "CREATE USER ##### WITH PASSWORD '#####' WITH ALL PRIVILEGES"

However, I'm receiving the following error when I run the influx command on the OCS:

ERR: unable to parse authentication credentials
unable to parse authentication credentials

Environment

Dx NetOps Spectrum 24.3.4

Cause

Config file / hostname issue

Resolution

First:

1. Navigate to the influxdb folder

   cd $SPECROOT/influx

2. Edit influxdb_spectrum.conf

   vi influxdb_spectrum.conf

   - Find the [http] section and set auth-enabled = false

[http]
    enabled = true
    bind-address = ":9445"
    auth-enabled = false

 

3. Restart Influx

    cd $SPECROOT/bin/
    ./cmdC localhost 2 INFLUX

    ./launchinstdbapp localhost INFLUX y INFLUX.OUT

4. Attempt to run the command

% cd /spectrum/influx

% ./influx -port 9445 -database #### -execute "CREATE USER #### WITH PASSWORD '####' WITH ALL PRIVILEGES"

 

This caused the following issue:

 

• % cd /spectrum/insideView/
• % ./SpectrumInsideView &
• % SpectrumInsideView

  Traceback (most recent call last):

  KeyError: '####.##.####.###'
  Failed to execute script 'SpectrumInsideView' due to unhandled exception!
• [1]    Exit 1                        ./SpectrumInsideView

 

To ultimately resolve this we updated SpectrumInsideView.conf to show the OneClick fully qualified name and the Performance Views started working
