[Question #133390]: graphite is giving a MemoryError traceback on a server with 10G of free memory

 

New question #133390 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/133390

So after a friend (who works for a large ISP) who uses graphite convinced me it was amazing, I set it up. I followed the install doc and got graphite running. Graphite is running with the run-devel-server script, carbon with --debug, and the example client injects metrics every 30 seconds.

Whenever logging into graphite, the main graph is broken and I'm unsure why. In the runserver output, I saw things like:


[09/Nov/2010 17:08:36] "GET /render HTTP/1.1" 500 77007
[09/Nov/2010 17:08:36] "GET /render/?width=586&height=303&_salt=1289351315.838 HTTP/1.1" 500 78074

Lucky for me, I've got some django dev experience and a lot of django debugging experience. I mudged settings.py to point at the django-sentry[1] server we already have setup for many of our other django apps. It gave me this traceback:

Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://labserver.int:8080/render/?width=586&height=303&_salt=1289351320.119
Python Version:

Exception Value:

What am I doing wrong to cause this? Thanks!
