Viewing Dashboard after following installation example raises exception about clip

[asmuth]

Mh, looks like it can't find a namespace. Which url are you accessing in your browser, "http://localhost:4242/"? Can you maybe paste your server file? :)

[johnmcdowall]

Full url is:
http://localhost:4242/myapp#Overview

It's just the example from the readme:

require "fnordmetric"

 FnordMetric.namespace :myapp do

   gauge :unicorns_seen_per_hour, 
     :tick => 1.hour.to_i, 
     :title => "Unicorns seenper Hour"

   event(:unicorn_seen) do
     incr :unicorns_seen_per_hour 
   end

   widget 'Overview', {
     :title => "Unicorn-Sightings per Hour",
     :type => :timeline,
     :gauges => :unicorns_seen_per_hour,
     :autoupdate => 30
   }

 end

 FnordMetric.standalone

Ah, can you see the dashboard? If you can see the dashboard, but there is this error in the server output, then it's because your browser is requesting the favicon.ico-file and that's not properly handeled right now. (I will fix that)

[johnmcdowall]

Yes, sorry, I can see the Dashboard, but no values are showing. I just realized that when I tried to do the logging step it failed (my server file is called test.rb):

ruby test.rb log
:public is no longer used to avoid overloading Module#public, use :public_folder instead
    from /Users/john/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/fnordmetric-0.5.2/lib/fnordmetric/app.rb:15:in `<class:App>'
usage: test.rb {run|log|import} [DUMP_FILE=fm_dump.json]

Will that stop the values from showing up?

I am generating events with:

echo "{'_type': 'unicorn_seen'}\n" | nc localhost 1337

And the server seems to be capturing values:

[11-12-26 20:52:10] events_received: 37, events_processed: 37, queue_length: 0
[11-12-26 20:52:13] events_received: 37, events_processed: 37, queue_length: 0
[11-12-26 20:52:16] events_received: 37, events_processed: 37, queue_length: 0

[asmuth]

The values should stil show up. Try moving the graph one step to the right/future (there are little arrow-buttons next to the date-input in the headbar) and make shure the current day/hour is actually visible. (The timeline widgets don't show the current day/hour/tick per default, so that the graphs don't always "go down" at the end. - you have to pass the :include_current => true option if you want that).

[johnmcdowall]

Hmm. Yeah I've paged through the date time input and still nothing. Surely I should see a value here in the 9pm range:

The server shows so far:

[11-12-26 21:06:58] events_received: 54, events_processed: 54, queue_length: 0
[11-12-26 21:07:01] events_received: 54, events_processed: 54, queue_length: 0

[asmuth]

Mh, how are you submitting the events? I just tried with

echo "{\"_type\": \"unicorn_seen\"}" | nc localhost 1337

Also, can you maybe paste the output of

ruby test.rb log DUMP_FILE=/tmp/foo.json 

thanks :)

[johnmcdowall]

Ah ha!

I just used your method for posting events which if you look above is different from the one in the readme.

Yours:
echo "{"_type": "unicorn_seen"}" | nc localhost 1337

Readme:
echo "{'_type': 'unicorn_seen'}\n" | nc localhost 1337

I am seeing values now. Thanks!

[asmuth]

Yes, I already updated it. Thanks for the feedback and please get back to me if you have any more questions or issues :)

[johnmcdowall]

Sure thing - thanks for the great software!
