Does OpsCenter Community work with a single-node Cassandra cluster? - cassandra

I am using Ubuntu 15.10 64 bits with OpenJDK 1.8.0_66. Cassandra 3.3 and OpsCenter 5.2.4 are installed from apt packages and running locally. I am using the following sources.
deb http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 33x main
deb http://debian.datastax.com/community stable main
The OpsCenter doc says: "In Add Cluster, enter the Hostnames or IP addresses of two or three nodes in the cluster, set the JMX and Native Transport ports, and click Save Cluster".
I have a single-node cluster, so I don't have two or three IP addresses to enter. When I enter the address of the node, I get the following message: "Error creating cluster: Unable to connect to cluster. Error is: Unable to connect to any seed nodes, tried ['127.0.0.1']".
I am using the default ports. netstat -an gives among others the following lines.
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7199 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:9042 :::* LISTEN
nodetool status is working fine.
$ nodetool status

After looking at other questions I tried uncommenting the following in /etc/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh. I tried both localhost and 127.0.0.1. It did not help.
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<hostname>"
There is nothing in /var/log/cassandra/debug.log or /var/log/cassandra/system.log when the connection attempts fail. The only log messages are from Cassandra starting/stopping.
Is it possible at all to use OpsCenter with a single-node cluster? If so, what might I be missing?

Cassandra 3.3 and OpsCenter 5.2.4
You're out of luck, OpsCenter 5.x only work for Cassandra 2.1 branch and the future OpsCenter 6.x that will be compatible with Cassandra 3.x branch will only be available wit the Datastax Enterprise version, read this: http://docs.datastax.com/en/opscenter/5.2/opsc/opscPolicyChanges.html

Multi-node multi-datacenter CASSANDRA

I am trying to setup a multi-node multi-datacenter cluster in Cassandra 3.11
For data-center 1 I have Cassandra running on 3 nodes(eg. 10.90.22.11, 10.90.22.12 and 10.90.22.13) and for data-center 2 I have Cassandra running on 2 nodes(eg. 10.90.22.21 and 10.90.22.22).
The ring is up but they are working separately. To make them work together I update the endpoint_snitch to be GossipingPropertyFileSnitch and also the dc and rac in cassandra-rackdc.properties to be DC1 and DC2 for respective nodes following the steps mentioned in this link.
After these changes when I restart Cassandra, the status of Cassandra is running however when I check for the ring with nodetool status I receive a error:
nodetool: Failed to connect to '127.0.0.1:7199'
ConnectException: 'Connection refused (Connection refused)'
What am I missing?
This error you posted indicates that nodetool couldn't connect to JMX that is supposed to be listening on port 7199:
Failed to connect to '127.0.0.1:7199'
Verify that Cassandra is running and check that the process is bound to various ports including 7199, 9042 and 7000. You can try running one of these commands:
$ netstat -tnlp
$ sudo lsof -nPi | grep LISTEN | grep java
Cheers!
You should try nodetool command with host/IP what you have put in your cassandra.yaml. Also, you should check your port 7199 or custom port if you set is open/allow from firewall.
nodetool -h hostname/ip status.
you can mention username.password if you enabled. please refer below link for more details and understanding:-

Cannot start Cassandra : Port already in use

I have two Ubuntu 16.04 nodes on which I installed Cassandra 3.11.3 with java version "1.8.0_181". I want to merge these two nodes into a Cassandra cluster. Their intern ips are 172.16.10.20 and 172.16.10.30.
on each /etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml file I modified the following lines:
cluster_name: 'my_cluster'
- seeds: "172.16.10.20,172.16.10.30"
listen_address: XXXX
rpc_address: XXXX
where XXXX is respectively the intern ip of the current node.
I then restart Cassandra on each node
sudo service cassandra restart
and check that Cassandra runs :
sudo service cassandra status
cassandra.service - LSB: distributed storage system for structured data
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/cassandra; generated)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2018-08-08 00:31:42 UTC; 3s ago

and the cluster

Everything is up and normal.
I want to connect now to Cassandra:
cqlsh
and get:
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1': error(111, "Tried connecting to [('127.0.0.1', 9042)]. Last error: Connection refused")})
Some googling later, I want to start cassandra by hand
cassandra
and get (among a huge message):
ERROR [main] 2018-08-07 23:02:51,365 CassandraDaemon.java:708 - Port already in use: 7199; nested exception is:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use (Bind failed)
It looks like the port 7199 is already in use. I kill the corresponding pid, change in /etc/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh the JMX_PORT to 7200... same issue, the port is said to be in use, plus the error
00:33:06,236 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender[SYSTEMLOG] - openFile(/var/log/cassandra/system.log,true) call failed. java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/log/cassandra/system.log (Permission denied)
I have changed the permission, but the error remains. At this point of the story I am running out of ideas. What I am trying to achieve seem pretty straighforward so I guess others must have run into a similar issue.
The nodetool status output says it all here. You had everything running just fine. So revert any changes in terms of port usage.
As your nodetool status reveals that your node IPs are 172.16.10.20 and 172.16.10.30, try running cqlsh and providing one of those IPs. cqlsh tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 by default, which will not work in a plural node cluster.
cqlsh 172.16.10.20 -u yourusername -p yourpassword
Note: You can omit -u and -p if you don't have auth enabled. But if that's true, then you should really change your cluster to enable auth.

cassandra is not running as service

The system is Linux 14.04.1-Ubuntu x86_64, 200GB space, 8GB memory. Everything is done in both root and user. We installed the Cassandra version 3.6.0 from datastax using the following command (followed the instruction from website: http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.x/cassandra/install/installDeb.html):
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install datastax-ddc
However, the cassandra is not started as service.

We can start Cassandra manually using the command:

However, we have to start cassandra as a service. Any suggestions how to fix the problem?
Try using http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/install/installDeb.html
This is more stable and I have tried it.
I think the ports are not opened.
Try opening the following ports:
Cassandra inter-node ports
Port number Description
7000 Cassandra inter-node cluster communication.
7001 Cassandra SSL inter-node cluster communication.
7199 Cassandra JMX monitoring port.
Cassandra client port
Port number Description
9042 Cassandra client port.
9160 Cassandra client port (Thrift).
Also what type of Snitch is defined in the Cassandra.yaml file ?

cassandra 3.4 on virtual box not starting

I am using mac osx. i created 3 virtual box by virtualbox. I've installed centos7 minimal version on each of the virtual box.
Then i installed cassandra on each of the box. After installation it was starting by cqlsh and nodetool status command.
But after then when i was trying to link each other and edit cassandra.yaml file its started showing
('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1': error(111, "Tried connecting to [('127.0.0.1', 9042)]. Last error: Connection refused")})
i've edited the cassandra.yaml file as follows:
cluster_name: 'Home Cluster'
num_tokens: 256
partitioner: org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner
- seeds: "192.168.56.102,192.168.56.103"
storage_port: 7000
listen_address: 192.168.56.102
rpc_address: 192.168.56.102
rpc_port: 9160
endpoint_snitch: SimpleSnitch
my /etc/hosts file contains:
192.168.56.102 node01
192.168.56.103 node02
192.168.56.104 node03
Please tell me whats wrong i'm doing? My cassandra cluster not working.
solution: I got the solution from AKKI. The problem was enpoint_snitch. I made the endpoint_snitch=GossipingPropertyFileSnitch and it fixed. My now output is as follows:
[root#dbnode2 ~]# nodetool status

I had faced similar problem,
I tried the following solution:
In Cassandra.yaml file check if you have,
start_rpc = true
Changed my endpoint snitch to
endpoint_snitch: GossipingFilePropertySnitch
Opened all ports Cassandra uses on my CentOS
Cassandra inter-node ports
Port number Description
7000 Cassandra inter-node cluster communication.
7001 Cassandra SSL inter-node cluster communication.
7199 Cassandra JMX monitoring port.
Cassandra client port
Port number Description
9042 Cassandra client port.
9160 Cassandra client port (Thrift).
Command to open ports on CentOs 7(Find it according to your OS):
>sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9042/tcp --permanent
>sudo firewall-cmd –reload
Then Restart your systems
Also it seems that you are changing the Cassandra.Yaml file after starting cassandra.
Make sure you edit your Cassandra.yaml file on all nodes before starting Cassandra
Also remember to start the seed node first.

Cassandra nodetool connection timed out

Im trying to use nodetool to check the status of my cluster, but its unable to connect.
My cassandra.yaml is configured with listen_address and rpc_address set as the server IP (e.g. 10.10.10.266).
Im able to connect through cqlsh and cassandra-cli using the same IP, but when I connect to nodetool it doesnt work.
/bin$ nodetool -h 10.10.10.266 ring
Failed to connect to '10.10.10.266:7199': Connection has timed out
I dont think I have a firewall enabled on the server (Ubuntu). Im running this directly on the server in question, so I wouldnt have thought it would be a firewall issue anyway.
You probably need to uncomment the following parameter in cassandra-env.sh:
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<public name>
Replace with the address of the interface you want the jmx interface to listen on.
nodetool connects through JMX interface. By default it's listening on port 7199 (other tools use RPC interface listening on port 9160 by default). Check JMX settings in cassandra-env.sh file. Most likely JMX server is listening on wrong interface (or probably loopback interface).
Default JMX configuration section (cassandra ver. 1.1.5) contains link to troubleshooting guide:
# jmx: metrics and administration interface
#
# add this if you're having trouble connecting:
# JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<public name>"
#
# see
# https://blogs.oracle.com/jmxetc/entry/troubleshooting_connection_problems_in_jconsole
# for more on configuring JMX through firewalls, etc. (Short version:
# get it working with no firewall first.)
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$JMX_PORT"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS $JVM_EXTRA_OPTS"
It also worths to list all network interfaces using ifconfig and try telnet'ing port 7199 on all interfaces.
I was facing the same timeout issue. However I found that my cluster was not getting started properly because of token issue and I was getting "Host ID collision between active endpoint". Once i deleted data directory and restarted cluster then nodetool started working fine.
I also saw this same issue but it turned out to be some weirdness in my hosts file that was preventing JMX from binding to the interfaces.
Specifically, the host file had an entry for the external IP address with the hostname. Our servers had two interfaces, one external and one for an internal network. Removing that hosts entry did the trick.
As someone mentioned, it connects to the JMX port.
You can find the JMX port:
In /etc/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh. This won't work for ccm based local clusters OR
(my fav) by looking at the command-line of Cassandra node process running on the node.
My case was a cluster created locally using ccm so all my nodes were running on same host with different JMX port.
vagrant#triforce:~$ ps -eaf | grep cassandra | grepi -o " [^ ]*jmx.local.port[^ ]* "
-Dcassandra.jmx.local.port=7100
-Dcassandra.jmx.local.port=7300
-Dcassandra.jmx.local.port=7200
vagrant#triforce:~$
This is because I have 3 nodes running on the localhost.
vagrant#triforce:~$ nodetool -p 7100 ring
