Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version: apt

Fresh install or upgraded from other version? Fresh install

I got this issue. Does anybody know how to fix it?

Hi @thienngho,
which version of the agent are you using?

Have you changed any of the default configuration? Please also check your setup, e.g. ensure the APM Server is reachable by the agent, the proper APM Server host and port are defined, etc. Do you use any additional proxies between the agent and server communication?

thienngho · February 1, 2019, 1:33pm

Hi @simitt,

I'm using Python agent 4.1.0.
I didn't change any of the default configuration.
I tested the connectivity, all good.
I don't use any proxy.

It's not happened all the time, sometimes it happens

@thienngho do you see any log messages from the APM Server at the same time as you get this error from your Python app? You might have to set up logging first though.

I have the same issue with elastic-apm python agent under flask. Downgrading to 4.0.3 makes this issue disappear. Furthermore when using 4.1 with apm-server 6.5 caused messages not to appear on the backend. Upgrading to 6.6.0 fixed it but tracebacks like above were still showing up in the flask logs. Downgrading to apm python agent to 4.0.3 with apm-server 6.6.0 work correctly.

This seems to be an issue with elastic-apm python agent.

@Piotr_Jankowski thanks for confirming the issue! How frequently did this issue happen (only every so often, or with every request from the Python agent to the APM Server)? And did you see anything in the logs from the APM Server at the same time you saw these tracebacks from the Python agent? And lastly, which Python version and urllib3 version do you use?

vlinhart · February 6, 2019, 11:12am

Having the same errors. I'd say its 10% with errors. Hard to say. My stack is on 6.5. apm python agent 4.0.3 has way less errors like this than the 4.1. However even apm python agent 4.0.3 does it in like 1% of situations. The apm logs have nothing - only logging success. Python 3.6.5.

@vlinhart awesome, thanks for all the information!

One possibility why this is happening more often on 4.1 is due to the new metrics collection feature, as it regularly collects and sends data.

My current theory is that this could be due to a keep-alive connection that gets closed in-between requests. If that is the case, we could probably get away with simply retrying to send the payload when this happens. But I need to investigate this a bit more before going down that road.

vlinhart · February 6, 2019, 1:35pm

@beniwohli what does it regularly collects? I thought it's done only on requests. Though I noticed it was sending something in dev even when no requests were done.

Ok don't know how is the keep-alive used, I'd go without it or make it configurable? Thanks for looking into it!

vlinhart · February 6, 2019, 2:01pm

Seems it's the new

How do I disable it, can't find it in the docs.

I have apm-server, ES and Kibana on my local network. The app is running under a docker-compose environment.

Nothing in the APM server logs is showing an error - there is a log for the request itself and it does look successful but Python thinks it is not.

Here is an extended stacktrace:
