FAQ
Q: Why does Tashi complain about "unexpected keyword argument 'd'"?
A: Tashi was originally developed against an older version of Thrift. This is mentioned on the documentation page. You will have to downgrade to an older version of Thrift.
Q: Why does Tashi have the error message "Failed to exec gmetric, disabling"
A: This happens because Tashi was unable to find gmetric on your system. gmetric is a part of Ganglia. It is not necessary to use Ganglia in order to use Tashi, but Tashi has the ability to output per-VM statistics and log messages a Ganglia metrics. If you don't care about either of those features, you can safely ignore this message -- or turn of the use of the GangliaPublisher class in the config file.
