Do these steps on the monitoring node.

  1. Log in to the monitoring server

  3. Remove the this property

    Code Block
    kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.host_list

  4. Add this property and set the value as the IP address of the server, without the port. (warning) Note the cql_ in the name

    Code Block
    kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.cql_host_list=10.60.30.188

      1. cassandra and check that it is really ded

      2. kairosdb

      3. abiquo-emmett

      4. abiquo-delorean

      5. firewalld (and allow connections as required)
