Hi Luois,

I installed PF on a CentOS7 VM, running on top of oVirt 3.6 vitualization system (qemu-kvm/libvirt). All physical nodes OS's are CentOS7.

As far as I can understand, in a VM the random generation is "slow", so if you try to read from /dev/random you'll get stuck for minutes unless you configure a paravirtualize random device (not my case).

The unblocked random generator (/dev/urandom) is an option, even though it could be less secure.

Regards

Mirko

Hello Mirko,
Sorry I could not help more. I was out most of the day yesterday.

That's an interesting issue.
Can you tell us more about the environment you are running this on?

Best regards,

OK, I finally solve my problem.
The httpd.graphite service could not generate the secret in the sub "generate_secret" of lib/pf/services/manager/httpd_graphite.pm module from /dev/random on my VM (oVirt 3.6).

As a workaround, I made /dev/random a link to /dev/urandom, but I have to better understand the cause.
