No Graphs after disaster-recovery

Bug
#1

NethServer Version: 7.5.1804
Module: Statistics

(Would put this in the category minor bug / quirk, bug fits best…)

During testing disaster-recoveries noticed a little quirk in the Statistics Module. After a fresh install and in the first config wizard uploading a backup-config-tar.xz for the recovery procedure the Graphs are not shown:

signal-event nethserver-cgp-update solves the issue

EDIT:

Deducted it a bit more: restarting httpd-admin does the Job too;
I’ll gues reload could be enough (will try to remember to test next time…)

That’s strange, the post-restore-config event fires all package events using system-adjust.
And the nethserver-httpd-admin-update event already contains the restart (/etc/e-smith/events/post-restore-config/S70system-adjust).

Maybe there is a small race condition somewhere …

Can’t find a something in the logs, can the [INFO] service httpd-admin is masked: skipped be a clue?

Yes, it should be the reason: to avoid UI breaking when restoring the a backup from the Server Manager.

I don’t know if there is a workaround for it. :thinking:

:hushed:
Now THAT would be a problem…

Lets document the human-workaround until a more elegant solution pops-up.

Restart httpd-admin in the UI: Services > httpd-admin (restart)

Some new insights:
It does not occur if you go through the First-config-wizard and upload the backup-config in the UI.
(As described here)

Which let me think a possible solution-direction can be to restart/reload httpd-admin (unmask it) at the end of the First-config-wizard (transition to the servermanger-UI) in case of a disaster-recovery procedure.
