Description Wolfram Richter 2016-06-30 16:45:06 UTC
Description of problem:

In my test setup with OSE 3.2.1.1, I have trouble getting hawkular-metrics to work. I can access the service home page just fine, but displaying values via the OpenShift console yields a 403 forbidden. Using the Browser’s Developer Tools, I can see that two OPTIONS requests are made which yield a 200 OK, but then the two GET requests yield 403 forbidden.

How reproducible:

100% in my environment

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy hawkular-metrics using the ansible script at: https://github.com/wrichter/hailstorm/blob/master/ansible/roles/layerX_openshift_installer/tasks/deploy_metrics.yml
2. Create test project in OSE
3. Create test pod in project
4. Access Metrics tab for pod
5. Click on the hawkular-metrics link and accept browser certificate
6. Go back to metrics tab and try to view metrics

Actual results:

An error message: " Metrics are not available.

An error occurred getting metrics for container cakephp-example from https://hawkular-metrics.apps.hailstorm3.coe.muc.redhat.com/hawkular/metrics.

If you have network connectivity, this could indicate a misconfiguration.
Please contact your system administrator.
Forbidden"


Expected results:

Metrics graphs are displayed

Comment 1 Matt Wringe 2016-06-30 19:40:43 UTC
When you hit the Hawkular Metrics status page (https://${HAWKULAR_METRICS_HOSTNAME}/hawkular/metrics/status what is the exact version it displays?

Also, using IMAGE_VERSION=latest is highly not recommended. That will bring in the latest version, regardless of the underlying OpenShift version you are running. This can cause a lot of problems if you are using an older version of OpenShift and a newer one is released.

Comment 2 Wolfram Richter 2016-06-30 21:02:38 UTC
The output is 

{"MetricsService":"STARTED","Implementation-Version":"0.8.2.Final-redhat-1","Built-From-Git-SHA1":"9eb775892235e05bb1a7828af33a572e4945416e"}

ACK wrt IMAGE_VERSION=latest (will change this to the specific version number) but if I understand it correctly it should not affect the situation right now since latest is in fact what matches the OpenShift version deployed.

Comment 3 Wolfram Richter 2016-07-05 20:54:22 UTC
With the help of Ivan McKinley I found the root cause of the problem:

Ansible automation code which does NOT work, i.e. yields 403:

oc process metrics-deployer-template -n openshift -v IMAGE_VERSION={{ version_tag.stdout }},MASTER_URL=https://openshift.{{ hailstorm_dns_domain }}:8443/,HAWKULAR_METRICS_HOSTNAME=hawkular-metrics.apps.{{ hailstorm_dns_domain }},USE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE=false | oc create -n openshift-infra -f -


Ansible automation code which DOES work, i.e. metrics are displayed:

oc process metrics-deployer-template -n openshift -v IMAGE_VERSION={{ version_tag.stdout }},MASTER_URL=https://openshift.{{ hailstorm_dns_domain }}:8443,HAWKULAR_METRICS_HOSTNAME=hawkular-metrics.apps.{{ hailstorm_dns_domain }},USE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE=false | oc create -n openshift-infra -f -


--> The difference is in the trailing slash of the MASTER_URL parameter. I have the feeling that the deployer could be enhanced to trim away the trailing slash and/or big warning signs should be added to the docs not to use a trailing slash.

Rereading the docs I can probably skip specifying MASTER_URL and IMAGE_VERSION for my specific use cases.

Comment 4 Matt Wringe 2016-07-20 13:29:43 UTC
We will update the deployer to take into consideration that the MASTER_URL should not have a trailing slash.

Comment 5 Matt Wringe 2016-07-28 19:59:01 UTC
This has been updated in origin-metrics and will be fixed in our next release.

Comment 6 Xia Zhao 2016-07-29 03:35:30 UTC
Tested with the latest origin-metrics images on docker hub, deployed metrics with trailing slash in the end of MASTER_URL (MASTER_URL=https://{master-dns}:8443/), the metrics stacks can be successfully deployed, metrics stacks running fine. Set to verified.

I also checked that the metrics charts are displayed with data on webconsole in my env of comment #6
