metrics_monitor doesn't work in MSS 2017R2

Hello,

recently I have installed MSS 2017R2 on a new supermicro system X11SSV-M4F ( CPU: intel xeon E3-1585 v5, chipset: intel C236, OS CentOS 7.2.1511).

All works fine except metrics_monitor tool, which fails with this message: ERROR: Failed to subscribe for metrics, error code 1

And I can't find out what is wrong.

For example, I have another system running MSS 2017R2, it is intel NUC6i7KYK (mini pc) and here metrics_monitor runs fine. The graphics on both systems is the same Iris Pro 580.

Bellow you will find additional information:

It will be nice to receive some suggestions from an expert

Hello,

I have the same problem with the same proccessor (1585) but with E3-1275 no problems, works very well. Very strange, why anybody from Intel do not answer?

Dear all,

Problem solved! Please try to update or downgrade gcc and g++ to version 4.9 and problem will solved.

Hi Rashad,

glad to hear it. Could you give some more details, what have you changed step by step.

I have installed devtoolset-3 which includes gcc and g++ 4.9.2 and have recompiled metrics_monitor with that version but nothing have changed.

Regards,

Mindaugas

This is more like a software issue since the other people on the old platform got it.

Hi
I am having a similar problem on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1285L v4 @ 3.40GHz machine, OS: CentOS 7.2.1511.
Hardware acceleration (decoding/vpp/encoding) is working well. Metrics query always fails to subscribe.

On the other hand, it works perfectly fine on a newer machine: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1275 v5 @ 3.60GHz, OS: CentOS 7.2.1511.

It can't be a GCC version problem (at least not on CentOS 7.2.1511) since it's working on that OS.

Did someone made a progress and managed to fix that issue?

Thank you

Koby

Thanks so much,

We have found this problem and the solution will be available in the next release.

The problem is: 

("/sys/class/drm/card0/gt_act_freq_mhz") is not exist on Intel(R) Xeon(R) E3-1285 v4 , so the configuration failed.

As a work around before the new release, you can apply the attached patch to cttmetrics_sample.cpp and recompile it.

Hi Benjamin,

I am glad to see the issue is fixed, Let me know if there is still a problem.

As far as I can see, it should be release quite soon, I can't tell you the exact date, but it should be within a month or two.
