            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.

                                      I've been keeping an eye on my graphs since 23h30 and the first one died promptly at midnight with this message in the log:

                                        Just in case it helps, I posted in another thread similar to this one: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,27910.msg163645.html#msg163645

                                        I noticed there were some messages on my logs that seemed related, but I wasn't sure, so I posted them there.

                                        Could a mod merge these threads?  seems to be useful information in all of them, and it may help to have all of them in one thread and prevent crossposting.  Perhaps something is posted in two different threads that may make the issue more obvious if seen all at once as well, so that this bug can be resolved.

                                            Oops, no. Sorry. I haven't been on site in over a week and didn't want to upgrade remotely because of the pppoe issues. I'll be there in 36 hours or so and update then.
