amonagent unable to authenticate with amon server at first about amonagent HOT 5 CLOSED

I notice for the ones I installed manually, there is "No data for the selected period" under System for those servers.

Where are the docs for this?

from amonagent.

@kevinquinnyo Can you please check if these manually installed agents are running:

systemctl amonagent status
(or)
service amonagent status

After running the -test option though, it runs though the checks, succeeds, and the servers immediately show up in the amon server UI.

This is a bug, I will look into it

from amonagent.

root@cache1:~# service amonagent status
amonagent Process is running [ OK ]

It looks like it's still producing the error about the scheme which I thought was od since the amonagent.conf file has http:// in the amon_instance key:

root@cache1:~# tail -n5 /var/log/amonagent/amonagent.log 

2016/02/20 07:40:38 INFO amonagent.log Metrics collected (Interval:1m0s)

root@cache1:~# cat /etc/opt/amonagent/amonagent.conf 
{"api_key": "my_key_here", "amon_instance": "http://my.ip.add.ress"}
root@cache1:~# curl -X POST http://my.ip.add.ress/api/system/v2/ --data "api_key=my_key_here"
{"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}

Obviously I'm not testing the connection correctly. What data do I need to post to the server to test the connection manually? Or would that even help in troubleshooting the issue?

from amonagent.

That is a strange error. The testing URL is: http://my.ip.add.ress/api/system/v2/?api_key=api_key_here.

Can you please run /opt/amonagent/amonagent -test once again and take a look at the test URL at the end
