Error status code: 401 about nmon2influxdb HOT 11 CLOSED

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.
Can you give me your influxdb version ? Code 401 is mostly related to authentication problem but like you said the database was created. I will download the same version and test it.

Thanks

Hello,

I forgot to say it but remove hmc_data_retention in ~/.nmon2influxdb.cfg for a quick fix. It will allows you to go further.

I am also surprised to not see the database in your debug output. It was the first run?

A standard output should be:

/Users/adejoux/go/bin/nmon2influxdb --debug hmc import            

[{[{databases map[] [name] [[_internal] [nmon_reports] [nmon2influxdb_log] [nmon2influxdbHMC]] <nil>}] }]
ALTER RETENTION POLICY "autogen" ON "nmon2influxdbHMC" DURATION 60d REPLICATION 1 DEFAULT
Getting list of managed systems

Hi,

I removed the 'hmc_data_retention' line but no success.

I use influxdb-1.0.2-1.x86_64 directly from InfluxDB and yes it was the first run.

Hello,

I finally found it. It's not related to influxDB at all. It's your credentials for your hmc.

I installed the same version of InfluxDB. If you enable authentication and set the wrong password you have:

2016/11/23 13:54:31 authorization failed

But if I change my hmc_password line in the configuration file to a wrong password:

[{[{databases map[] [name] [[_internal] [nmon_reports] [nmon2influxdb_log] [nmon2influxdbHMC]] <nil>}] }]
2016/11/23 13:53:55 Error status code: 401

You need to update hmc_user and hmc_password in your configuration file.

Sorry for that, it's really a poor error message here. I will fix it.

Thanks,

With fix #30, new error message will be:

nmon2influxdb hmc import  
2016/11/23 14:14:23 HMC authentication error: 401 Unauthorized

If hmc server name is wrong, it will be:

 nmon2influxdb hmc import --hmc foobar
2016/11/23 14:14:41 HMC error sending auth request Put https://foobar:12443/rest/api/web/Logon: dial tcp: lookup foobar: no such host

from nmon2influxdb.

should work now, code is currently running and pushing data to the influx.
Is hscroot recommended? Before, I used a extra User with 'hmcviewer' role.

thx for your support.

from nmon2influxdb.

Great ☺. I will check this evening what is the minimum role needed.

from nmon2influxdb.

Ok, my fault. A HMC User with the 'hmcviewer' Role is working.

from nmon2influxdb.

Great news ☺. Everything is working for you now ?

from nmon2influxdb.

Everything fine know, thank you.

Would it be possible to code a switch for managed system info only? A complete hmc import (manged systems and LPARs) took 20 in our environment minutes, which is ok for the LPARS but it would be nice to get the data from the Hardware faster.

Hello,

Good news. Your point is right. I opened issue #31 to manage it.

Closing this one.
Thank you.
