slolife's questions

Recently, my services.msc app has become very unresponsive and slow. Takes a few minutes to just open it. There are a number of issues with the services that are listed, but for one example I'll use AppFabricCachingService.

AppFabricCachingService is listed in services.msc. But if I do a

sc query AppFabricCachingService

I get

C:\WINDOWS\system32>sc query AppFabricCachingService
[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

The AppFabricCachingService is not listed here in the registry either.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Any thoughts on how to get the services.msc synced with SC and what is actually on the system?

I am using Windows 10

Ubuntu 11.10

Everything worked when I first setup statsd and graphite. Once I rebooted, it no longer works, which makes me think something about graphite or carbon needs to be started.

Now that I've rebooted, I go to a terminal and type

node stats.js dConfig.js

And statsd sayd "server is up". I have dumpMessages = true, so I see all of the messages hitting the statsd server.

Graphite is on the same machine so dConfig.js has 127.0.0.1. dConfig.js also has port 2003 for graphite. I don't think I changed the port from 2003, but where do I find that?

The problem is, I cannot see any of the stats in the graphite console. I can nav to http:/127.0.0.1/ and see the graphite console. I even see old counters and timers. But I do not see any new data in the graph.

An example msg to statsd is:

slolife.TimingTest:198|ms

So in graphite, I look for slolife / TimingTests, but cannot find that stat/folder.

What do I need to start or check to get the data to show in Graphite?

I have setup a Mercurial website in IIS7 using this tutorial:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/HgWebInIisOnWindows

I am slowly figuring out all of the options that I can tweak for the served repositories. But I'd like to know if and when I need to recycle the website process in order to pick up changes made to any of the repositories' hgrc files? Does the website pick up the changes on the next request or do I need to always recycle?

Additionally, do I need to "restart" the website or run iisreset?

I have a MySQL database that I "inherited" and I was not given the admin credentials. I do however have access to the box that it runs on. Is there a way to either recover the admin credentials or create new ones?
