      confirmed working on 25/12 x32 nano 4g snap. when i first applied the fix detailed on this thread (prior to the updated snap), the graph showed but i had to reboot to get it to graph.

        just to share that I've gotten this from RRD:

        php: /status_rrd_graph_img.php: Failed to create graph with error code 1, the error is: ERROR: start (1293494400) should be less than end (1293487534)/usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/opt1-traffic.rrd-8hour.png –start 1293494400 --end 1293487534 --vertical-label "bits/sec" --color SHADEA#eeeeee --color SHADEB#eeeeee --title "hostname - WAN2 :: Traffic - 2 hours - 1 minute average" --height 200 --width 620 DEF:opt1-in_bytes_pass=/var/db/rrd/opt1-traffic.rrd:inpass:AVERAGE DEF:opt1-out_bytes_pass=/var/db/rrd/opt1-traffic.rrd:outpass:AVERAGE DEF:opt1-in_bytes_block=/var/db/rrd/opt1-traffic.rrd:inblock:AVERAGE DEF:opt1-out_bytes_block=/var/db/rrd/opt1-traffic.rrd:outblock:AVERAGE CDEF:"opt1-in_bits_pass=opt1-in_bytes_pass,8," CDEF:"opt1-out_bits_pass=opt1-out_bytes_pass,8," CDEF:"opt1-in_bits_block=opt1-in_bytes_block,8," CDEF:"opt1-out_bits_block=opt1-out_bytes_block,8," CDEF:"opt1-in_bytes=opt1-in_bytes_pass,opt1-in_bytes_block,+" CDEF:"opt1-out_bytes=opt1-out_bytes

        I wonder if this is updated in the latest snapshot (today)

            Jimp, the error I was getting was the same as quoted by another user:

            "Some of the graphs show up. Others are blurred out with a big red message to see the log."

            On first upgrade to  today's  27 Dec build the graphs were running good, now about fours later I check and they are back with the same error as at above with the error on the first graph at the top.

            This I simply do not understand. Wish I could be of more help  >:(

            @jimp:

            @mromero:

            On the other box where I did a fresh install of the 26 December build, but which curiously has a date file of the 25 the December the RRD graphs are broken. i38

            The same error message or something different?

                    Sometimes all my graphs show up fine, other times some graphs are blurred out. Seems like it was always shortly after midnight locally when this happened.

                        clarknova may be on to something, it may only show up during a specific time frame if there is an issue with date calculation.

                              When mine is blurred out, I just switch to Previous Period from Current Period and the graphs will display.

                                        Has anyone been able to make out a pattern, working time vs non-working time? This happened before and it was a noon/midnight switch.
