Server Admin Graphs

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread to post this issue in, but maybe someone out there could help me out. My graphs for overall CPU usage and Network Throughput in Server Admin have stopped functioning properly. The other night they started showing flat CPU performance at 75% and network performance at about 250 bytes/sec. Other tools (iStat Menus and iStat Server connected to my iPhone) showed correct information. Today however, the graphs have stopped showing any data at all. They both say "There is no data in the selected period". I noticed the odd behavior when my VPN stopped working intermittently. Any suggestions?

Hey Guys, i have the same problem.
Any help is apreciated!
this is something i got out of the error log, i cant figure it out how to solve this:
[Mon Nov 23 21:49:58 2009] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `myserver.example.com' does NOT match server name!?

  • Server Admin Graphing No Longer Works in 10.4.6

    Has anyone else noticed that the graphing functions no longer work in 10.4.6?
    I have also noticed that the CPU % Usage in the System - Hardware displays 62% no matter that the system is idle. This only appears on my single processor G4 not my Dual G4 Xserve.

    Ever since I have upgraded to Xserve 10.4.6 the graphing function does not work and shows 0% - pretty light load for a dual 867 MHz G4 and about 12 users at the time
    It is my hope that Apple does fix the problem shortly - it's useful to see the load on the CPU and network. Over the last while I did notice that the CPU load was "creeping" up steadily when the "Server Admin" utility was left running. The graph did not creep up when "Server Admin" was terminated and a graph was plotted after a few days.

  • Server Admin not drawing graphs

    I have a fresh install of Leopard that will not display the graphs in Server Admin on the server. I can see the graphs if viewing from my laptop or other machine, but not from the server itself. It gets a few errors like ...
    ... [0x0-0x1b01b].com.apple.ServerAdmin[1734]: * ERROR: -[GRAxes computeLayout]:1124 - plotRect height = 0.000000 <= 0.0 *
    ... [0x0-0x1b01b].com.apple.ServerAdmin[1734]: * ERROR: -[GRChartView computeLayout]:1194 - Layout for overlay axes (0x6826d30) failed. *
    The hardware is a Xserve, 2 x 2.0GHz PPC G5 with 2.0 GB RAM.
    Any help is appreciated as this is an annoying feature.

    Hi
    I see the same "error" messages in every leopard server install I've done - and I've done a fair few - regardless of what hardware was used. Graphs draw fine for me.

  • Problem in Server Admin: cpu and network graphs not updated or empty after lion server update

    Hi!
    Just for archive purpouses because i've already solved that!
    After upgrading from OSX Server 10.7 to 10.7.1 my CPU and Network graphs in Server Admin stop being updated.
    In 24h the graphs where blank (disk usage graph seem to keep working).
    First i read about "what is the application responsible for this"; it's called ServerPerfLog, and you can see if it's running that way:
         # ps ax | grep ServerPerf
    If you don't see anything else than your own "grep", that means that no application is running, no data is being collected.
         41324 s000  R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
    A positive response for this (meaning that the service is running) should be something like that (2 lines: your grep and the service app itself):
         94   ??  Ss     0:04.71 /usr/libexec/ServerPerfLog
         41344 s000  R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
    Later i read about "where is the config file for this service app", and you can find it here:
         /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
    If you edit this config file, check that the "Key > Disabled" is set to "False"
         # vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
            <key>Disabled</key>
            <false/>
    After that, i try to launch the service that updates this graphs again, by hand, performing the following command:
         # sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
    And the service got launch!!! yeeeepa!! i see a first update in graph data.
    Also the "ps" query reply that the service was running!!
    The bad things came a day after, when i saw that the graphs stop again....
    I check if the service was running executing again the "ps" command, and that show me that the service was stopped again; no ServerPerfLog process was running.
    But r e l a x, because the process hang because of a permissions problem.
    You should know, I run "Repair permissions" within "Disk Utilities" over the running system disk, eeee... voila!
    I hope that helps someone to get his fancy graphs back!
    Regards,

    You are God like!!! Wooo hooo! Thanks bud!

  • Server admin not showing network traffic graph

    This topic was posted a while ago with no solution, and it has been [archived|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6953359]. I have just experienced the same problem with Leopard Server Admin (SA). It seems to be a problem on the server, not in the client admin, since it occurs both when I use SA on the server itself and a client, and deleting client prefs. has not helped. I'm presuming that there is a corrupted database or prefs. file for this graph.
    All the other SA graphs show just fine. Fixing permissions has not helped, either.
    Anyone have any idea where to look on the server? Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure I have since I have a few Mac Mini's on the network with their home directory residing on the server and my Windows users are sharing a few daily use files on the server including a MYOB data file, also our intranet web site is hosting on the same server, not to mention I have 3 print queues there and all the outgoing mails from both of our all-in-one scan to email machines are using the same server. All of these services and users are using their computer as if nothing is wrong, so I have to assume that there is network traffic unless server admin interprets the term "network traffic" differently.

  • Graphs in Server Admin isn't updating any more.

    Hi all,
    The graphs in Server Admin doesn't show correctly. For any given time range, it's always 31% for CPU utilization and 28KB/s for network. However it's definitely not the case when comparing to Activity Monitor.
    The graphs for web showing correctly for both throughput and requests.
    Not sure if anyone had this problem before. I googled around and found no similar issues.
    It's not a big deal but very annoying as I can't see server performance history any more.
    Please help.

    According to the manual page on the OS X Developer Library, fsck_cs has a bug:
    fsck_cs does not perform an exhaustive validation, nor is it able to fix many of the inconsistencies that it does detect.
    Somehow my MacBook Air didn't complete some I/O transactions to the SSD and therefore the physical volume of the core storage has "failed". Fixing inconsistencies didn't worked because of the bug mentioned above. Repartitioning disk0s2 and reinstalling the OS solved the problem.
    @Link Davis: The SSD has not failed, if so the SMART status would have shown that. That's the most shared oppinion on many Apple related forums. I think you mean the disk, not the drive.
    I'll not encrypt the SSD of the MacBook Air with the FileVault 2 until the bug is going to be fixed!

  • "Settings" has disappeared in Server Admin

    After upgrading both of my Xserve G4's from OS X Server 10.4.8 to 10.4.9, I noticed when Server Admin is connected to one of the servers, the "Settings" button when you select the server does not appear. I also don't get information back about the system version, computer name, system start time, etc. The rest of Server Admin appears to work correctly, though. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.
    Regardless of which system I run Server Admin from, when I select the "working" server in Server Admin I see tabs for Overview / Logs / System / Graphs / Update / Settings, for the "unhealthy" server I only see tabs for Overview / Logs / System / Graphs / Update. In addition, no valid information is shown in the Overview tab (as shown below).
    Luckily, I do have a workaround. Although the Server Admin GUI doesn't appear to be functioning correctly, the serveradmin CLI tool works fine. I'm wondering what the 10.4.9 update might have clobbered. Disk Verify / Repair Permissions haven't turned up any problems.

    Yes, in many cases you can still use commands via the Terminal, see Apple's Command-Line Administration guide
    http://www.apple.com/server/documentation/
    I would look through your logs. If you launch /Applications/Utilities/Console , it should open the last log written to.
    See about enabling the debugging menu in Server Admin. Quit out of SA, and in the Terminal enter:
    defaults write com.apple.serveradmin UseDebugMenu YES

  • Server Admin unable to connect to local server

    Hey all. I've been using SLS to serve a Promise RAID via NFS for a few weeks now, and it's been stable and smooth. I've had Server Admin open all that time so I could watch the network usage graph via ARD. Today, Server Admin can no longer connect to the local server. I've tried stopping and starting com.apple.servermgrd but it still cannot connect. Is my only option at this point a reboot?
    Has anyone else experienced this on SLS? I've always had stability issues with Server Admin in the past, but I'd been told the issues had been addressed in SLS. Could someone verify this? Thanks

    I should have been more clear. This is on an 8-core Intel XServe.
    I was able to use Server Admin locally on the machine for weeks. Now I can't. Nothing has changed or been altered on the machine during that period.
    I can not connect to the server via Server Admin remotely or locally. I can connect via SSH, ARD, etc. and the system is still serving NFS just fine, so it's just the process that handles communication with Server Admin that is non responsive.
    Something interesting from the syslog:
    qt1 servermgrd[44258]: servermgr_accounts: noteDirectorySearchPolicyChanged (reopening nodes)
    qt1 servermgrd[44258]: -[AccountsRequestHandler(AccountsOpenDirectoryHelpers) openLocalLDAPNodeIfNeeded]: dsLocalLDAP = (null) , error = Error Domain=com.apple.OpenDirectory Code=2000 UserInfo=0x1066a16c0 "Unable to open Directory node with name /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1."
    qt1 DirectoryService[31]: DirectoryService has 42000 internal references open (due to clients), warning limit is 2000.
    These lines repeated apprx. every 30 secs until I bounced the servermgrd. Now, I see that entry whenever I try to connect to the local server via Server Admin.
    Now, this system is not a LDAP server, but I understand OSXS still uses LDAP for local directory info... I've tried restarting the related directory services as well, but still no joy.
    It looks like my only recourse is a reboot, which is really not a great option for a dedicated file server. Am I the only one who has ever encountered this issue of Server Admin eventually losing contact with a server?

  • Intel xserve Server Admin

    For some reason, even after installing the new server admin tools off the CD that came with the new intel xserve, I simply get a "waiting for response" in server monitor and the CPU graphs are dead in server admin.
    Also, this isnt due to the server, cause when I ARD to the server itself and check out the server monitor, it does work... No firewall or anything either.

    Quick Update:
    A firmware update came up in my software update on my intel mini that would supposedly fix the issue... it didn't and my g5 tower still doesn't see anything either.

  • Server Admin GUI not displaying complete information

    Recently, the Server Admin GUI stopped displaying complete information for one of our servers. It works fine for the other.
    All servers are set up very much the same, other than one is an Xserve and one is a G5 tower. The one giving the grief is the G5 tower.
    Server Admin is version 10.4.7 and was working fine until a few days ago.
    When I click on the computer name (or IP) in the "Computers and Services" list, then look at any of the tabs > "Overview" "Logs" "System" "Graphs" or "Update" no information is retrieved. With the exception of Hard Drive capacity.
    All other services (Web, VPN, Mail) report all info without problems.
    Weird, hey? Any thoughts appreciated.

    Well it pretty easy. I've taken out the code that is unused so you can see what is going on.
    import javax.swing.* ;
    public class Shareddilog extends JDialog
    public static void main(String[] args)
    Shareddilog s=new Shareddilog();
    s.show();
    }This is the only code that is executed in your program. It created a JDialog and then shows it. What you want to do, I imagine, is to put all the GUI stuff in your constructor and make sure you call pack() on it before you are done.

  • Remote Server Admin not working from outside of network for 1 server

    Our company recently changed ISPs and I had to change our two 10.4 server's IP addresses. We have a mail server (intel xserve) and a file/web server (quicksilver g4). Both servers have two network cards in them. The problem is two-fold:
    1- I can successfully manage the Xserve machine locally on our network and from my home. However, I can only manage the Quicksilver g4 server locally. Any kind of external access is not even acknowledged.
    2- I'm not sure if I missed any steps when changing IP addresses for these server-based computers. Also, I'm not sure if I correctly set our dns names to the correct IP address.
    For some background, this is the exact IP update process I used for each server:
    Quicksilver G4 (file/web server) - Installed network card #2 and configured it with the new Public IP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. In Server Admin I set our website to use the new public IP address. (network card #2 has no firewall device in between it and the internet.)
    Then, I configured the default network card #1 to a static, yet private IP address that's behind our DLink firewall device with the rest of our network.
    Intel Xserve (e-mail server) - Network card #1 was the only one setup before our network change. It had a static, public IP address. When we changed ISPs, I configured network card #2 to the new static, public IP address supplied to us by the new ISP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. This new IP address is where all email traffic currently gets pointed to. (All mail is successfully sent and delivered.) Until our former ISP gets shutdown, I still have network card #1 configured to the older static public IP address. After the old ISP is shut off, I plan on changing network card #1 to a static, private address.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    What should I check in AD?  I am by no means an expert with AD.
    Yes, I am using the same client OS.
    I am talking about RDP over the internet, like from home to the office.  We have a static IP assigned to the router from ISP.  A static internal IP assigned to the server on the LAN.  And the router port forwards 3389 to the assigned IP. 
    It was working fine before we reinstalled Server 2012.  These are the steps I took when reinstalling:
    1. format drive and install OS
    2. rename the server
    3. install SQL server
    4. Install TFS and SharePoint
    5. Add Active Directory role and promote to Domain Controller
    6. Add domain users
    7. Enable remote access on the server and add users to remote access list

  • Mail Server Relay Authentication Failure in Server Admin

    I need to set up Mail Server to relay through my ISP.  I know that I can authenticate to smtp.comcast.net:587 using my account and TLS usnig a mail client.
    However, when I use Server Admin to configure my server's SMTP to send all outgoing email through this relay (Server Admin>Mail>Settings>General>
    Rely outgoing mail through host: smtp.comcast.net:587
             Authenticate to rely with user name: user
    I get the SMTP error:
    SASL authentication failed: cannot authenticate to server smtp.comcast.net[76.96.62.117]: no mechanism available
    There are no toggles on Server Admin to specify TLS or SSL or anything for authentication.
    Does anyone know how to tell Server Admin how to authenticate an SMTP relay to smtp.comcast.net using TLS, which is apparently what comcast expects?

    Wow, this is an obscure solution, but it works. According to this thread, the problem is that:
    Although Comcast advertises "AUTH LOGIN PLAIN", the Postfix SASL library won't do plain text auth by default. It needs to be told it's okay with:
    smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
    Solution:
    $ su -
    $ cd /etc/postfix
    $ cp main.cf main.cf.no_smtp_sasl_security_options
    $ echo 'smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' >> ./main.cf
    $ serveradmin stop mail
    $ serveradmin start mail
    I'm not sure how often /etc/postfix/main.cf is overwritten, but presumably this happens every time you change and save Mail settings in Server Admin, so you must redo these steps every time you change the Mail server if you want to use smtp.comcast.net as your mail relay.
    AAPL, would you please add a toggle to handle this in Server Admin?

  • How can I block Server Admin from accessing a server?

    I've got a G5 FTP server running Server 10.5.7 that sits outside our firewall. Oddly I find that I can enter the IP and login info via Server Admin and voila - I have access. All sharing services are off and all remote access services in System Prefs are off. I want this system totally locked down except for the FTP server app I run. What do I need to kill to prevent access via Server Admin? Or anything else for that matter?
    My concern is that via Server Admin someone could really mess things up and of course turn on services that would grant them full access.
    Thanks

    Oh sorry - I put this in the wrong category.
    I'll duplicate this in the 10.5 section

  • Server Admin's proxy configuration... whacked? (Doesn't seem to work)

    I just upgraded to Apache2 so that I could, sensibly, use the Server Admin app to manage all my web sites. Previously, my various httpd conf files were too complicated and I had resorted to hand coding them.
    The good news is Server Admin and Apache2 are much closer to functional.
    One bit of bad news: I can't get the reverse proxies to work consistently. Once set up, I get the most peculiar mix of success and failure -- almost at random. For example, some URIs load; others don't; sometimes a page loads, but it's style sheet doesn't.
    What I want is simply this:
    */confluence (proxy to) localhost:8081/confluence
    Using hand-edited config files, I'd usually do something along these lines (and this works great, by the way, if I stick it into 0000any_80www.mydomain.com.conf:
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPassReverse /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
    ProxyPass /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
    So, off to Server Admin to make this work. I tried checking "Enable Reverse Proxy" and specifying a Proxy Path of "/confluence" and a Worker URL of http://localhost:8081/confluence. This ended up created the following entry in my 0000_...conf file:
    <IfModule modproxybalancer.c>
    ProxyPass /confluence balancer://balancer-group/
    ProxyPassReverse /confluence balancer://balancer-group/
    <Proxy "balancer://balancer-group">
    BalancerMember http://localhost:8081/confluence
    </Proxy>
    </IfModule>
    I wasn't able to figure out what a Sticky Session Identifier, Route or Load Factor would be used for... so I left those blank. Perhaps that's why it's not working... sure would be nice if there was some help in Server Admin...
    Hm. Anyhow, Ok, looks alright. I'm not totally sure about the balancer bits (like why they are there), but I don't see why it wouldn't work. But... IT DOES NOT. I get totally inconsistent results. Some pages load, some don't. Sometimes I get some page assets, while others don't come through. Bah. However, if I get rid of the above, and simply put this in:
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPassReverse /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
    ProxyPass /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
    It works great. Only problem is, anytime I edit a server configuration, Server Admin goes and deletes those lines! I think I've found a way around it though. I put the above lines into a "0000.proxy" file (in /etc/apache2/sites/0000.proxy) and now I've added this line:
    Include "/etc/apache2/sites/0000.proxy"
    At the bottom of my 0000_...conf file. So far, Server Admin hasn't deleted that line... and it seems to be working.
    BUT, I'd just LOVE it if someone could tell me how to make this work without hacking around in the command line! Very annoying -- and of course, my proxies are showing up in Server Admin, and I really wish that would work.

    @Jared - Was that information missing in your file? I thought when you elected to use this file that it was automatically populated with all available settings. And unfortunately (IMNSHO) the settings don't immediately reflect the settings in the dialog. (I think they should, as a starting point. At least, that's the behavior *I* expected the first time I played with the feature. I was admittedly taken aback when it didn't work that way.)
    Assuming the setting was missing, how did you manage to sort what setting should be added?
