Description of problem:
If I run the metrics role to setup a grafana host and server clients to be monitored, the playbook completes successfully, but when I pull up the "PCP Redis: Host Overview" dashboard in Grafana I get these error messages:
Templating [host]
Error updating options: timeout while connecting to 'http://localhost:44322/series/labels?names=hostname'
Error

How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with 5 newly built RHEL hosts
2. Manually apply fix for https://github.com/linux-system-roles/metrics/pull/87
3. Run metrics role to setup PCP on the hosts and setup Grafana on one of the hosts
4. Import the "PCP Redis: Host Overview" dashboard in Grafana
5. View the "PCP Redis: Host Overview" dashboard
Actual results:
Templating [host]
Error updating options: timeout while connecting to 'http://localhost:44322/series/labels?names=hostname'
Error
timeout while connecting to 'http://localhost:44322/series/labels?names=hostname'
Expected results:
Dashboard works
Additional info:
If I run "sudo systemctl restart pmcd pmlogger pmproxy" on the grafana host after the metrics role completes, everything works as expected.

Hi Nathan,
I did some more testing this morning. With the https://github.com/linux-system-roles/metrics/commit/06f9aa59739cb421056a30ee3edb5276650943cd patch and also moving the firewall tasks to the top of the playbook, everything worked properly on two runs of the playbook (restoring the VM's back to a clean snapshot each time).
The https://github.com/linux-system-roles/metrics/commit/06f9aa59739cb421056a30ee3edb5276650943cd is definitely needed. I tried running the playbook with the firewall tasks at the top of the playbook, and without this patch, and ran in to the original issue in the description of the BZ.
I'm working on getting the blog post updated so that it shows the firewall tasks at the top of the playbook, and will also still have the workaround of restarting pmlogger and pmproxy to workaround this BZ.
Thanks for your help getting this resolved!
