Monitoring Gateway

@hendi that doesn't look right to be honest, mine is the same as @stephenw10

root    52663   0.0  0.0  11600  3096  -  IN    3Nov22      8:33.17 |-- /bin/sh /var/db/rrd/updaterrd.sh

I'm in a different time zone.
It seems to be working now. I have no idea why it didn't work after two reboots. After the third reboot it works!

[stephenw10]

Mmm, you see any RRD errors at boot? Anything like:

Nov 15 14:32:25 	php-cgi 	524 	rc.bootup: The command '/usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/bin/rrdtool update /var/db/rrd/system-sensors.rrd N:U:U:U:U:U' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ERROR: /var/db/rrd/system-sensors.rrd: expected 6 data source readings (got 5) from N' 

Edit: Cross-posted. Good to see!

@stephenw10 No errors

[hendi]

Some errors here

[stephenw10]

Those are only because it booted in verbose mode. None of that is actually in use. Not a problem.

[hendi]

Any idea why the graphics didn't work?

[stephenw10]

Not really. It looked like the update script was stalled on some sub-process. Whatever it was it got past that and started logging data again.

[hendi]

Thank you all for your support!

[hendi]

I don't know what is wrong with the pfsense configuration, but the monitoring keeps stopping. It runs for a few days and then stops. For example, now I see that it has stopped since 21.11

[stephenw10]

You see any errors in the logs when it stops?

Does the gateway fail when it stops? The WAN reconnect?

[hendi]

This post is deleted!

[stephenw10]

Is it all the monitoring data that stops each time? Not just gateway monitoring?

Nothing else in the system log at the time it appears to stop?

[hendi]

@stephenw10 Monitoring stopped again. This time without any restart. Nothing works in monitoring, not just the gateway.

[stephenw10]

And still nothing in the system log when it happened?

[hendi]

@stephenw10 I cleared all logs, unninstalled all packages.

Everytime i run

sh ./updaterrd.sh

A recording appears in the graphics. Then nothing appears. I run it again, it appears again. Then nothing. Can I run that command in crontab to update the graphs every 1 minute?

[stephenw10]

You probably could but you definitely shouldn't need to. That script should be running continually anyway:

I don't know why it appears twice

[stephenw10]

Mmm, me either. I don't see that anywhere here. Did you already start it manually or add it to some script?

[hendi]

@stephenw10 I haven't added it to cron yet and haven't run updaterrd.sh yet. This morning I deleted everything with .rrd from /var/db/rrd. Then reboot. It still doesn't update.
