**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):  
Open search helm vesion= 2.20.0  
Dashboard version= 2.18.0  
Opensearch version= 2.14.0

**Describe the issue** :  
As I am using the latest version 2.14.0 by default performance analyzer plugin is available. How should I enable to collect the metrics. When I execute the API call ## GET localhost:9200/\_plugins/\_performanceanalyzer/metrics/units. I got the response like {  
“error”: “no handler found for uri [/localhost:9200/\_plugins/\_performanceanalyzer/metrics/units] and method [GET]”  
}

I saw the document, there is no straight forward congif explained for helm chart. should I do below settings. and this setup has to be done on both master, data, and dashboards?

config:  
opensearch.yml: |  
plugins.performance\_analyzer.enabled: true

Under node I should use this config?

Can someone reply.

I have enabled the plugin by using this cmd "  
curl -XPOST localhost:9200/\_plugins/\_performanceanalyzer/cluster/config -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ -d ‘{“enabled”: true}’"

I saw some logs are written under the “/dev/shm/performanceanalyzer/” as below.

post that what I have to do? How should I create the dashboard to see the metrics?

Should I install the performance analyzer agent and that I will run on the 9600 port? I am using the helm chart I have already given the details above.

@pdcuong27 @learnawsnaresh There is an issue with Performance Analyzer and it has already been reported in GitHub. This affects all versions starting from 2.12.0

> <https://github.com/opensearch-project/performance-analyzer-rca/issues/545>
>
> \*\*What is the bug?\*\*
> Opensearch performance analyzer app throws exception on st…artup and is not working.
> 
> \*\*How can one reproduce the bug?\*\*
> Steps to reproduce the behavior:
> 1. Run opensearch from docker image: opensearchproject/opensearch:2.12.0 expose port 9600
> 2. GET localhost:9600/\_plugins/\_performanceanalyzer/metrics
> 3. Hangs indefinitely (aka, no response is ever returned)
> 
> 
> \*\*What is the expected behavior?\*\*
> Expected is that the webserver API on port 9600 returns a response.
> 
> \*\*What is your host/environment?\*\*
> - OS: opensearchproject/opensearch:2.12.0 
> - Version 2.12.0
> - Plugins
> 
> \*\*Do you have any additional context?\*\*
> See logs/PerformanceAnalyzer.log and notice:
> \`\`\`
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: cannot add context to list
> at jdk.httpserver/sun.net.httpserver.ContextList.add(ContextList.java:37)
> at jdk.httpserver/sun.net.httpserver.ServerImpl.createContext(ServerImpl.java:276)
> at jdk.httpserver/sun.net.httpserver.HttpServerImpl.createContext(HttpServerImpl.java:74)
> at jdk.httpserver/sun.net.httpserver.HttpServerImpl.createContext(HttpServerImpl.java:39)
> at org.opensearch.performanceanalyzer.PerformanceAnalyzerApp.createClientServers(PerformanceAnalyzerApp.java:354)
> at org.opensearch.performanceanalyzer.PerformanceAnalyzerApp.createClientServers(PerformanceAnalyzerApp.java:319)
> at org.opensearch.performanceanalyzer.PerformanceAnalyzerApp.main(PerformanceAnalyzerApp.java:112)
> \`\`\`
> Checking the source code it is clear that the same handler is added twice, so the createContext functions throws an exception on the second attempt.
> Code from PerformanceAnalyzerApp.java:
> \`\`\`
> httpServer.createContext(Util.METRICS\_QUERY\_URL, queryMetricsRequestHandler);
> httpServer.createContext(
> Util.LEGACY\_OPENDISTRO\_METRICS\_QUERY\_URL, queryMetricsRequestHandler);
> \`\`\`
> The Util.METRICS\_QUERY\_URL and Util.LEGACY\_OPENDISTRO\_METRICS\_QUERY\_URL are equal.
