LPAR2RRD - Dashboard empty

Greetings from Australia team!
I'm an IBMi support engineer, however, self-taught Linux "newb". Please bear with me.  :-)
I have a CentOS7 Linux server and two test AS/400 LPARs communicating on the same subnet:

[lpar2rrd@sdclpar2rrd LPAR2RRD]$ netstat -a| grep 8162
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8162            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      1 sdclpar2rrd.sdc.su:8162 pwr50mgt.sdc.sund:19636 LAST_ACK
tcp        0      0 sdclpar2rrd.sdc.su:8162 pwr01mgt.sdc.sund:44003 CLOSE_WAIT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crontab job running hourly:
# LPar2rrd ui
0 * * * * rm -rfv /home/lpar2rrd/LPAR2RRD/data/* && cp -r /LPAR2RRD/data/* /home/lpar2rrd/LPAR2RRD/data
2 * * * * /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/load.sh >  /home/lpar2rrd/LPAR2RRD/load.out 2>&1 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OS/400 Agent Sender jobs running without problem in both LPARs:
    IF: C_SNDSTS  - protocol 5.4 UTF8 conv                                     
    IF: C_SNDSTS  - connection Established() 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Telnet jobs tested, but appeared hung - but this could be just the port being blocked for Telnet only traffic:

TELNET RMTSYS('192.168.129.60') PORT(8162) INZWAIT(15) RMTUSER(TESTSTRING) 
Connecting to remote host 192.168.129.60 using port 8162.                  
TELNET session ended.  Connection closed.  

Cause . . . . . :   The session ended because either you quit TELNET, or the 
  remote TELNET server closed the connection in an orderly manner.           
Recovery  . . . :   Start TELNET again.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: I see the 'Table IBM i' Data check show up the LPARs successfully. Machine type, serial number, name,
version 1.1.7, Agents running. All looking good. However - the main Dashboard is empty and does not refresh.
I have not configured any HMCs yet, as I thought they are not mandatory. Should the two HMCs be configured in
order for Dashboard to work?

Thanks and regards,

  • Hi,

    1.What is this? Do you remove and copy all data again from somewhere? It makes no sense
    0 * * * * rm -rfv /home/lpar2rrd/LPAR2RRD/data/* && cp -r /LPAR2RRD/data/* /home/lpar2rrd/LPAR2RRD/data

    2. you do not need to connect the HMC, it should work without it, exactly as on our demo where is 1 stand-alone IBM i server (full partition)

    3. send us debug data

    ls -l /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/data/*/*/*

    Note a short problem description in the text field of the upload form.

    cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd  # or where is your LPAR2RRD working dir

    tar cvhf logs.tar logs tmp/*txt tmp/*json

    gzip -9 logs.tar

    Send us logs.tar.gz via https://upload.lpar2rrd.com




  • Thanks Pavel, will try and upload log data as directed. 
    As for: 
    0 * * * * rm -rfv /home/lpar2rrd/LPAR2RRD/data/* && cp -r /LPAR2RRD/data/* /home/lpar2rrd/LPAR2RRD/data

    Yes, a little strange. I think when I moved my LPAR2RRD directory the 'symbolic' links were lost. The copy function ensures the correct '/data' directory is from the IBMi connections.
    regards,
    Greg

  • some sort of symlink would solve that, this is not nice solution
    like this, I hope I am correct based what I see above
    ln -s /LPAR2RRD/data /home/lpar2rrd/LPAR2RRD/data

    suppose  /home/lpar2rrd/LPAR2RRD/data is removed before
