I cannot generate a cluster report in OpsCenter. The server and clients are running on CentOS 5.9, 64bit. Software versions:

  • opscenter-3.2.2-1
  • opscenter-agent-3.2.2-1

Here is the error reported in the web browser:

There was an error generating the cluster report: u'/dev/mapper/Staging3SSTables_vol1'

That is the file system on the third cassandra node in this cluster. That underscore should be a hyphen:

$ ls -la /dev/mapper/Staging3SSTables_vol1
ls: /dev/mapper/Staging3SSTables_vol1: No such file or directory

$ ls -la /dev/mapper/Staging3SSTables-vol1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 0 Oct  7 13:56 /dev/mapper/Staging3SSTables-vol1

$ df -h /dev/mapper/Staging3SSTables-vol1
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Staging3SSTables-vol1
                      551G  199M  522G   1% /var/lib/cassandra/data

I don't get this error for the other nodes in the cluster.

What could be causing this?

Here is the full output of the error from opscenterd.log:

What's happening here is opscenterd is looping over partitions containing any configured data directories from cassandra.yaml, and comparing those to the output of df --print-type --no-sync --block-size=1G --local. OpsCenter seems to think that /dev/mapper/Staging3SSTables_vol1 is one of those partitions, which is obviously wrong.

We do some escaping of special characters in partition names, but - is in the list of allowed, non-escaped characters. So unless that dash isn't really a dash, or there is simply a bug in OpsCenter code, that shouldn't be causing any issues.

I don't get this error for the other nodes in the cluster.

Once this error occurs, the cluster report will stop processing. So if the offending node is the first to be processed, the other nodes wouldn't have a chance to succeed or fail.

  • Thank you very much for your response, although I'm just now seeing it a year later. This problem disappeared after upgrading OpsCenter sometime after noticing the problem. I don't know what version brought the fix, but things are working fine now.
