I'm trying out Elastic cloud. I've downloaded Metricbeat- System metrics (Windows version) and set it up on my local computer. I configured it so that I can see my local computer's memory, cpu, disk space, etc on my dashboard in Kibana on Cloud (Elastic Cloud).
I rebooted my local computer and expected Kibana not to get any more metric data from my local computer through Metricbeat. However, it is still getting data from my computer. 1) I want to know the name of the Metricbeat process. (I can't find it :( )
2) I want to know how to stop Metricbeat on my local machine. (If every time when I reboot my system, it also comes back up. Killing the process wouldn't work in this case.)
Here is how I solved it.
I opened a taskmgr in Windows. And I found the process.
The name of Metricbeat process is metricbeat.exe.
I killed the process, but it seems to run automatically when I restart my computer.
I went into the folder where I downloaded and installed Metricbeat.
Run PowerShell as administrator. And type .\uninstall-service-metricbeat.ps1 to uninstall it.
Finally, in Kibana, from the moment when you uninstalled Metricbeat, it won't show any more data.

I have an Rstudio Server installation on a Linux Azure VM that seems frozen and also crashes any browser I try to login with.
I have restarted the VM and separately restarted RStudio Server (similarly to the solution in this post) a number of times, but it does not change the behavior. I didn't think I had it set to reload an environment or operation upon restart, but perhaps I accidentally did. The last thing I was doing with the server was a large sparse matrix operation that turned out to be too much for it.
Since the problem occurs immediately after the app loads, I'm not sure how to reset its state. I tried following these instructions but it didn't work:
I renamed ~/.rstudio to ~/.rstudio.backup while RStudio Server was stopped and it was recreated on the next start, but it still resumed in the same state. I saw mentions of ~/.local/share/rstudio/ and ~/.config/rstudio in the support docs, but they do not seem to exist in this Azure Ubuntu installation.
I also moved and renamed the folder of the last used R project, but it had no effect. There is a .config/R/ folder but it only contains a rsconnect folder and 2 empty subfolders.
I finally got it. After shutting down and restarting RStudio Server it was necessary to run this command immediately after RStudio Server loaded:
sudo rstudio-server suspend-all
I have a simple application using
QT += core gui network webkitwidgets
I've used windeployqt.exe to generate the 32 bits release on my win-10 64 bit computer. When I put the folder on a win-7 64 Bit desktop and double-click the app.exe, it never starts.
I can see it in the task manager, but I can't kill it, and if I try I cannot close the explorer folder in which I double clicked anymore.
I've checked the usual platform, ICU, qwindows.dll, and so on.
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html
EDIT Precisions:
I've compiled with default 32 Bit kit: "build-Test-Desktop_Qt_5_5_1_MinGW_32bit-Release" with "mingw492_32"
I have a package "release" generated by windeployqt.exe using the --webkit switch. I start a command prompt:
> set path=
> set mingw=
Then I make sure that no Qt/Mingw things exists anymore in my environment variables.
I also rename "c:\Qt" into "c:\ __Qt".
I move my release folder on my desktop.
I start release\test.exe ( from the clean path shell )
Everything runs fine! So The release/test.exe has everything it needs without the path/mingw variable.
But as soon as I put the folder on another windows machine ( 7 instead of 10 ) it never starts.
I tried dependency walker. It shows a lot of "API-MS-WIN*.dll" missing...
It even shows much more missing dlls on the "good" machine than on the bad one !!!
Every single "missing dll" on the "bad" target machine is actually in system32 on this machine.
Thanks for advice, every advice is welcome, I'm a bit desperate... :)
Edit
It seems to be related to the machine itself. I have successfully deployed this (very small) app to 2 non developer machine on win7 and win8 respectively. But the above "bad machine" still resits running it...
Edit
The problem seems not to be general but related to this one particular machine. Hence, feel free to close or move to the appropriate forum as it is not related to Qt/windeplyqt. If I figure out a solution, and question is closed, I'll simply add a last edit. Safe Boot and malwarebyte are my next actions.
After a long investigation.
Do not believe dependency walker, it used to be a top notch tool but it is now outdated.
If there is a missing dll, the system will prompt you with "cannot load dll xxx.dll" anyway.
Your best shot in case a soft runs on machine X but not on Machine Y is:
start in safe mode ( run: msconfig --> diagnostic startup )
turn off any antivirus or non microsoft/driver software,
"run as administrator".
If you can run with step 3. Then proceed by elimination:
run without admin rights,
Start anti spyware, etc...
Add appropriate exception to your antivirus if it is the root cause.
If the antivirus is not the root cause, run process monitor on both machines. Then compare, what Failed on one machine and not the other ? Read the windows event log and compare any error messages on both machines.
run sfc /scannow to check disk
run a complete anti spyware scan/ pc-repair tool ( malwarebytes, combofix, ... )
Make sure you really have the very same package on both machines, make sure you are not trying to run an exe on mac OS, make sure your computer is on.
Call the oracle, you are in the matrix...
In my case the problem was Avast and it was solved by adding appropriate exception.
I am using "devstack" to play with the openstack in my desktop.
I had configured several vms in my instance. What happened was couple of days ago there was a power failure which caused my desktop to power down(I didnt have a UPS) attached to it. This resulted in my losing all the vms since i didnt unstack.
One of the solution to prevent this from happening next time is using a UPS. Are there any other solutions that I can use to back the vms so that even if there is a power loss the vms will run if i just restart and do ./stack.sh
Create snapshot of VM
Instance snapshots are uploaded to Glance which will store them in /var/lib/glance/images on the controller node.
Backup this folder.
When there is a data lose occurs , just restore this folder and Launch new instance by boot from image. select the snapshot and click launch.
Devstack is a developer environment, it is not meant to recover from power losses.
You should consider using another all-in-one openstack installer which should support restarting the openstack services without losing state. For instance, you can use Redhat's packstack - https://openstack.redhat.com/Quickstart
Can R be run from a CD-ROM drive? The computer is a stand-alone (no network or Internet connection) and I can't install anything on it, nor can I use a flash drive.
Thanks.
What do you mean by "can't install"?
You don't need to install R, you can just run it from a folder copied from somewhere else. If you have hard disk storage on the PC then you can copy C:\Program Files\R from one machine onto a CD-ROM, then take the CD-ROM to the cripplebox, copy it to wherever you store your files and run it from there. Worst case scenario is you have to change the R_HOME environment variable. Works for Linux and Windows (you didnt say what OS you are on).
...unless your sysadmins have disabled executable permissions for your hard disk storage. Which is a real BOFH thing to do.
...but if they've done that I'd also suspect they've disabled executables from CD-ROM too.
...and if you don't have any writable hard disk storage, how the heck are you going to do any analysis?
...the real fix may be to kick the sysadmins until you tell them you can't do your job without R installed on the machine.
You may have trouble with packages, but otherwise, the instructions for installing R on a USB key should be pertinent.
I am having difficulty connecting to a existing Informix database. I am attempting to mimic the configuration that is present on another machine which currently works. By the way, that other machine is on the same network and it is accessing the DB through a tunnel, so I am pretty sure the issue isn't related to the network configuration.
Regardless, here are the steps that I took to try and make the connection
Downloaded clientsdk.3.50.TC9DE and installed this. The working machine uses 3.50.TC2DE, but I couldn't find the installer for that version. (Note that at first I tried using 3.50TC9, not sure if that makes a difference)
Matched the ODBC config in the new machine to the working machine
The working machine has a host name in the Host Name field. I assume this was allowed because the host was set to an IP in the hosts file. Regardless, I am using the IP.
Also I am using C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe to create the DSN
Made sure that the INFORMIXDIR and PATH directory were correct. as per http://www.dbforums.com/informix/694408-odbc-test-connection-not-successful.html#post2633932 I don't think the locales are the issue because they aren't set in the working machine's Setnet32. Also, I made sure that the locales matched in the ODBC environment settings.
Also, since my INFORMIXDIR is in C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Informix\Client-SDK\bin I tried replacing Program Files (x86) with PROGRAM~2 and Client-SDK with CLIENT~1 to no avail.
Tried setting INFORMIXDIR directly in my system environment variables (outside of Setnet32)
Set DBPATH to match the working system in both the user and system environment variables.
Set INFORMIXSERVER to the server in both Setnet and the system environment variables.
Completely lowered the firewall on my machine.
I can ping and telnet into the server.
I have also tried..
Tried this on Windows XP
Tested the ILogin demo. The result was a popup that stated Customer Records Found in the title bar with an empty text area field.
Reinstalled into C:\informix instead of C:\Program Files(x86)...
Rebooted after various steps.
At this point I am at a loss. Has anyone run into this? The only other things I can think of is that I am using Win7 64-bit (with 32 bit drivers) and that the driver is 9DE not 2DE.
Alright so half of the battle is over. I was able to get a "Test connection was successful" on my Win7 machine. We had a copy of the 2.90.TC6 driver available in our file server from way back. I installed it and it worked. So my guess is that the database I am working with isn't compatible with 3.50.TC9DE.
I guess my next course of action is to try and find an installer for 3.50.TC2DE so that I can match the production system.
