Troubleshoot issues while using the web dashboard¶
You might encounter the following issues when using the dashboard.
Error while streaming¶
Applies to: Anbox Cloud, Anbox Cloud Appliance
Streaming can fail when there are not enough resources to start a streaming session.
Try the following actions:
Verify if you have sufficient resources for instance/application creation. See Capacity planning for more information.
Check if all the nodes are in
unschedulable
mode. See Node-specific configuration for more information.
Session does not start¶
Applies to: Anbox Cloud, Anbox Cloud Appliance
A session does not start and the session details page displays the following error:
Anbox stream failed
failed to communicate with the signaler: There was an error with the websocket, check debug console for more information
See How to view the instance logs to find reasons for the session failure.
Instances(s) in Error status¶
Applies to: Anbox Cloud, Anbox Cloud Appliance
The Instances page of the dashboard shows instances with Error status.
An instance can end up with an error status due to various reasons. It may not always be simple and easy to resolve this because of the variable factors involved, for example, the application that the instance is hosting or any installed addons.
The error message tooltip can give you a starting point for identifying the issue. Some reasons for an instance to go into error status could be:
Insufficient resources. Refer to Capacity planning.
Occasionally, access to Ubuntu archives could be a problem when creating an application. As an immediate workaround, you could disable the security update by running
amc config set instance.security_updates false
or explicitly setamc config set instance.api_mirror <mirror_address>
to configure an instance to use a different APT mirror. See AMS configuration for more details.
If the reason for the instance failure is not obvious from the error message, check the Logs tab for more information.
