Unable to receive any stats.

[danhanly]

I'm using docker-compose to build this, here's my config:

  graphite-statsd:
    image: hopsoft/graphite-statsd
    ports:
      - "5000:80"
      - "2003-2004:2003-2004"
      - "2023-2024:2023-2024"
      - "8125:8125/udp"
      - "8126:8126"

I'm able to access the graphite interface at http://localhost:5000 however, using the test command in the readme, I'm unable to send any stats to graphite.

If I run (echo "counters" | nc localhost 8126) > counters then I see my stats. The issue is that I'm unable to see any of this from within Graphite.

Is there a step I'm not seeing in the Readme to getting this up and running?

If I purposefully misconfigure the port, I get connection refused every millisecond, so I know the

I have the same issue, but for me even the counters command does not show the counter getting through:

$ echo counters | nc localhost 8126
{ 'statsd.bad_lines_seen': 0, 'statsd.packets_received': 0 }
END

started with:

$ docker run -d --name graphite --restart=always \
    -p 8080:80 -p 2003-2004:2003-2004 \
    -p 2023-2024:2023-2024 -p 8125:8125/udp -p 8126:8126 \
    hopsoft/graphite-statsd

The graphite dashboard page is accessible, just the example counters are not coming through...

$ while true; do echo -n "example:$((RANDOM % 100))|c" | nc -w 1 -u localhost 8125; done

I already verified with:

$ ngrep -d any -W byline port 8125

that the UDP packages are being generated...

Any tips appreciated...

For some reason 'localhost' didn't work, replacing it with 127.0.0.1 did...

I'm pretty sure this is from localhost resolving to ::1. If you connect to the container it self and run the command it wont work either. Edit /etc/hosts and remove ip6 line for localhost and run the example command, you should hopefully see data.

@tejom, can you can create a pull request to update the docs? your solution using 127.0.0.1 works for me too 👍
