The "stats-gatherer", an operation-helper service used to collect runtime
|
|
statistics from a fleet of Tahoe storage servers, must now be assigned a
|
|
hostname, or location+port pair, at creation time. The "tahoe
|
|
create-stats-gatherer" command now requires either "--hostname=", or both
|
|
"--location=" and "--port".
|
|
|
|
Previously, "tahoe create-stats-gatherer NODEDIR" would attempt to guess its
|
|
location by running something like /sbin/ifconfig to collect local IP
|
|
addresses. While this works if the host has a public IP address (or at least
|
|
lives in the same LAN as the storage servers it monitors), most sysadmins
|
|
would prefer the FURL be created with a real hostname.
|
|
|
|
To keep your old stats-gatherers working, with their original FURL, you must
|
|
determine a suitable --location and --port, and write their values into
|
|
NODEDIR/location and NODEDIR/port, respectively. Or you could simply rebuild
|
|
it by re-running "tahoe create-stats-gatherer" with the new arguments.

See docs/stats.rst for details.
