carbon_servers does not work for multiple servers

[druchoo]

carbon_servers = server1:2004,server2:2004

throws error:

April 22 19:36:29 graphios_backends.py WARNING Can't connect to carbon: server2:2004 [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
April 22 19:36:29 graphios_backends.py CRITICAL Can't send message to carbon error:[Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
April 22 19:36:29 graphios.py CRITICAL keeping ********/host-perfdata.1429730053, insufficent metrics sent from carbon.

Sorry not setup for pulls but here's a proposed fix

# diff /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/graphios_backends.py ~/git/graphios/graphios_backends.py
363a364
>         sock = socket.socket()
366d366
<             sock = socket.socket()

I also have similar problem.what are the changes need to be made in configuration files to connect to the carbon in different server ?

@Lagadapati11 no changes needed in config just to graphios_backends.py

I'm having this issue too. I took a look at graphios_backends.py but I don't see a problem with the indentation, which I gather is what the patch above was addressing.

This is what is in my graphios.cfg file:

carbon_servers = 172.16.0.181:2004,172.16.0.184:2004

Here's the log error I get:

June 21 23:49:07 graphios_backends.py DEBUG Connecting to carbon at 172.16.0.181:2004

I've checked, and carbon-cache on the 2nd graphite server is accessible via port 2004 so it's not a connectivity issue.

Never mind, I realised that the sock = socket.socket() needs to go inside the for loop. This wasn't clear to me from the patch noted above.

Hi, We are also facing the same after our server restart. Can you please let me know the solution for this?

[LavsChandu]

can y pls let me know the latest of graphiod_banckends.py file if any?
