I am currently in the evaluation phase of icinga2, icingaweb2, director, graphite, … .  
Problem:  
I can’t see charts in Icingaweb2. Only the message “Could not resolve host: icingaweb2” is displayed.

**Situation:**

**Modules / Version**

- Icinga2 r2.13.7-1
- Icinga Web 2 Version 2.11.4
- director 1.10.2
- doc 2.11.4
- graphite 1.2.2
- incubator 0.20.0
- monitoring 2.11.4
- PHP 7.4.33
- Firefox 111.0
- System information:
- Platform: Debian GNU/Linux
- Platform version: 11 (bullseye)
- Kernel: Linux
- Kernel version: 5.10.0-21-amd64
- Architecture: x86\_64

Icinga2, icingaweb2 and host work and collect data and send it to Graphite. I verified this via Graphite Web. I can also view the graphite data in Grafana. So I would say everything works except for the visualization of graphite diagrams in icingaweb2.

I hope someone can give me a tip to solve my problem.

Thank you

Hi.

Just a guess:  
Can **icingaweb2** be resolved from the icingaweb host?  
“Graphite Web URL” seems to point to this graphite-host.

Greetings

Thanks for your reply.  
Now i am one step further.

I am still not seeing charts, but now i can print out debug information:

I have copy & paste the url in Firefox:

```auto
(http://debiantest.le.local/graphite/metrics/expand?query=%E2%80%9Cicinga2.debiantest.host.hostalive%E2%80%9D.perfdata.rta.value)

```

and no results is cumming back.

If i remove the double quotes around _debiantest.host.hostalive_ then i receive data but no values.

I think it is a configuration problem at graphite/templates. I am using the default / original templates which were delivered by installation.

Sorry for my bad english

I could solve it by myself:  
It was copy&paste mistake in the file:

```auto
/etc/icingaweb2/modules/graphite/config.ini

```

I have double double quoted the values of “graphite\_writer\_host\_name\_template” and “graphite\_writer\_service\_name\_template”

INCORRECT:

```auto
graphite_writer_host_name_template = ""icinga2.$host.name$.host.$host.check_command$""
graphite_writer_service_name_template = ""icinga2.$host.name$.services.$service.name$.$service.check_command$""

```

CORRECT:

```auto
graphite_writer_host_name_template = "icinga2.$host.name$.host.$host.check_command$"
graphite_writer_service_name_template = "icinga2.$host.name$.services.$service.name$.$service.check_command$"

```

Thanks for help
