Hi,

It sounds like maybe you didn’t include * in my in my rm command so the “data" directory got deleted instead of its contents. Run the following and you should hopefully be good:

mkdir /var/lib/maddash/data

chown -R maddash:maddash  /var/lib/maddash/data

/etc/init.d/maddash-server restart

Thanks,

Andy

Andy,

 

The only thing that populates that directory ( momentarily, at that ) is the pid file. Here is the systemctl output after it fails.

Hi,

 

The empty directory is interesting, might be why it can'’t connect. MaDDash should be filling that directory when it starts up. Maybe a file permissions issue? Does the directory get filled if you run the following:

 

chown -R maddash:maddash /var/lib/maddash

/etc/init.d/maddash-server restart

 

Thanks,

Andy

Andy,

 

Thanks for your reply. So, interestingly enough there’s nothing in that directory, even after rebooting the node.

Are there any other recommendations or things I can glance at?

 

Also, the node has a good amount of free disk space.

 

Thanks!

Hi Cody,

 

Are you able to restart MaDDash or does it immediately crash on boot? It looks like it is having problems connecting to the embedded database it uses to track the alert history. If maddash runs after a restart of the service, it may have just temporarily lost its connection for some reason.

 

If it won’t come back up, there are a couple things you can do. For one, you might want to double-check your disk isn't full since that can cause problems for the embedded database it uses. If the disk is fine, you will likely need to remove the data of the database. Doing so will NOT destroy any measurements since MaDDash does not store those. It will destroy the last 7 days of alert history (i.e. whether a check was red, orange, green, etc). The commands to do so are as follows:

 

/etc/init.d/maddash-server stop

rm -rf /var/lib/maddash/data/*

/etc/init.d/maddash-server start

 

Hope this helps,

Andy

Hello,

 

Recently our Maddash server has ran into some complications. While the toolkit side of the node is exhibiting no issues, testing seemingly isn’t effected , and I believe I have found the cause of the issue.

 

# systemctl status maddash-server

maddash-server.service - MaDDash Scheduler and REST Server

                Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/maddash-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

                Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2018-08-05 15:44:15 EDT; 18h ago

               Main PID: 1287 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

 

So, looking into the /var/log/maddash/maddash-server.out file, we see this:

 

Initialization error: Connections could not be acquired from the underlying database!

java.lang.RuntimeException: Connections could not be acquired from the underlying database!

        at net.es.maddash.MaDDashGlobals.<init>(MaDDashGlobals.java:185)

Has anyone else ran into this issue? ( Or, it’s entirely possible this is a redherring. )
