      Not that I know of, I haven't seen any problems with the other graphs, just the quality graph.

      It may not be drawing the data in the graph where you expect though, the graphs start on hard boundaries now and if you catch them early in the day most of the current graph will be empty.

          Just look at:

          ls /var/db/rrd/

          If the timestamps are current, the files are being touched.

                So is this a graph drawing issue.

                    RRD files are round-robin database files (hence RRD) which remain a consistent size as they store rotating (round-robin) data. So if they will maintain history for a year, they start big enough to hold a year's worth of data and never grow or shrink, they are just updated with new data at the proper place. Hence the same file sizes.

                      Jim fixed a permissions issue today that should fix the quality graphs.
                      https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repos/mainline/commits/3d83f02e958a52e35cf098a3cd3f7031f53d69a0

                      though that only applies when the directory is created. May need something to fix permissions on existing directories. To manually fix, run:

                      chown nobody:wheel /var/db/rrd/*quality*.rrd

                        Ok fair enough so the files size shouldn't change. So how would I delve into the problem more to see if it is a graphing issue or data issue.

                          In addition to that, you want to change the permissions on the directory itself:

                          Or combine the two:

                          chown -R nobody:wheel /var/db/rrd/

                              That will be a no-op on NanoBSD if you reboot after doing it. /var is a RAM disk. You'd need to be on the latest snapshot (I think it should have the fix) before that will work.

                                That is the latest snapshot.

                                I only rebooted as its still blank.

                                  I found another bug, but it's definitely fixed now. :-)

                                  Either apply this by hand, or wait for the next new snapshot:

                                    I'll wait for the next update.

                                    I'm just testing and providing feedback.

                                    Thanks !!!
