RRD Graphs
-
Is there a command I can use or anything I can do to see if they system is actually recording the data.
-
Just look at:
ls /var/db/rrd/
If the timestamps are current, the files are being touched.

It's also one being updated: 19:51 GW_WAN-quality.rrd
:-)
-
So is this a graph drawing issue.
-
Strange what is going on.
sizes are the same as well

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/3d83f02e958a52e35cf098a3cd3f7031f53d69a0though 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.

chown nobody:wheel /var/db/rrd/Or combine the two:
chown -R nobody:wheel /var/db/rrd/ -

FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASETried that and even rebooted - Quality still isn't working.

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 !!!

Sorry. Been away.
Just updated to

FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASEGraphs are looking good.

Still no good for me.

Anything else I can try. I have the snapshot from sunday etc.

Today's seem fine…2.0-BETA4

I did another full delete of the RRD graphs and left in for 15 mins. The graphs only captured 2 mins worth of data and then stopped.
