RRD Graphs for Queues?

jlepthien

Did you really mount your cf card read-write? Or are you talking about a full install?

jwrascoe

Ah.. maybe thats the problem… I am new to pfSense (a ZeroShell convert) and the nanobsd version on CF in my appliance.

I got to say this product really handles VOIP correctly in low bandwidth situations... ;)

Anyhow... how do you mount the CF card as read-write?

I just normally just copy over the image on to the CF, plug it into my appliance and let it boot up.

Would you be able to give me instructions on how to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Sure…

Just ssh to your box and then choose 8 so you get a command prompt. Then do a mount -o rw -u / then rm the files and after that do a mount -o ro -u /
Next go to the GUI and visit the RRD page, choose Settings and then click save. Now the RRD files are beeing generated....

jwrascoe

Humm.. it must be something else…

I followed you instructions with the mount and no luck..

On another note.. by default my CF must be mounted by default as R/W as I was always able to delete the .rrd files without having to do a mount -o rw -u /

any other ideas?

jlepthien

Sure? The Default is ro. Just type in mount and you will see how it is mounted.

jwrascoe

ok.. below is a trace of all my steps…

still no queue graphs..just the error in the log... how strange...

It is Beta code.. so its really no big deal.. just trying to figure out if anyone else is having the same problem.

Is there anything else I can try to assist if this is a bug?

I rebooted the system from the SSH .. option #5 when it came back up I ran the following commands.

just for the record.. this is what I am running..

After you rm the files please type an ls -l /var/db/rrd/ and look if the files are really deleted. And also do not forget to click save on the rrd settings tab in the GUI.

jwrascoe

yes.. it actually deletes the files…

Here is the trace below.. and of course the system, traffic & packets graphs all reset so I know the files have been deleted and recreated... its just the queue graphs that never seem to want to generate...

Here is the trace that shows my steps...

Anything else I can do to assist in the debug process?

@jwrascoe:

jlepthlen,

Yes.. I saw that post and hoped it would fix…

First I removed the traffic & packets .rrd files as outlined in the post... that did not work..

So I then removed all .rrd files rm /var/db/rrd/*.rrd ... and still the same problem...

The actual log message says that it "could not parse color" .. I am not sure how to resolve this.. do you have any insight in this department?

php: /status_rrd_graph_img.php: Failed to create graph with error code 1, the error is: ERROR: Could not parse color in ''/usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/wan-queues.rrd-4y.png --start -126489600 -e -86400 --vertical-label "bits/sec" --color SHADEA#eeeeee --color SHADEB#eeeeee --title "hostname - WAN :: Queues - 4 years - 1 day average" --height 200 --width 620 -x "MONTH:1:YEAR:1:MONTH:3:0:%b" DEF:"wan=/var/db/rrd/wan-queues.rrd:wan:AVERAGE" CDEF:"wan-bytes_out=wan,0,114176,LIMIT,UN,0,wan,IF" CDEF:"wan-bits_out=wan-bytes_out,8," AREA:"wan-bits_out#:wan" DEF:"qInternet=/var/db/rrd/wan-queues.rrd:qInternet:AVERAGE" CDEF:"qInternet-bytes_out=qInternet,0,114176,LIMIT,UN,0,qInternet,IF" CDEF:"qInternet-bits_out=qInternet-bytes_out,8," AREA:"qInternet-bits_out#7B0000:qInternet" DEF:"qACK=/var/db/rrd/wan-queues.rrd:qACK:AVERAGE" CDEF:"qACK-bytes_out=qACK,0,114176,LIMIT,UN,0,qACK,IF" CDEF:"qACK-bits_out=qACK-bytes_out,8,*" AREA:"qACK-bits_out#990000:qACK" DEF:"qDefault=/var

it seems related to

AREA:"wan-bits_out#:

missing color value.
I found many lines of this error in my system.log
just copy one line and replace the color with a valid color code, a valid png produced.

Solution found

missing initialize of $t = 0

Humm….

Mine seems to have it in it already.. but still does not work....

Here is the code section that you are talking about in that file...

could it be something else?

Let me know..

After I actually read the code it was obvious where it was supposed to be… the code is below

All works fine now...

Thanks again for your help..

Happy New Year!

Jim

if ($altq) {
$a_queues =& $altq->get_queue_list();
$t = 0; // This is the line that needs to be added!
} else {
$a_queues = array();
$i = 0;
$t = 0;
}

stephenyeong

Queue-Drop got same problem ( same solution )

cmb

@jwrascoe:

if ($altq) {
$a_queues =& $altq->get_queue_list();
$t = 0; // This is the line that needs to be added!

I committed this fix, thanks

stephenyeong

Also line 705, for the queuedrop, same case, $t need initialize to 0
