          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.

                            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.

                                    EDIT - PROBLEM SOLVED

                                    Was braindead and forgot that it wasn't a clean install but an upgrade from the last CD I burned (May 2010 timeframe).  Just did a clean install from this mornings liveCD and all is well.

                                    ===================
                                    Seems a different issue than those above but under the same topic.  Clean install this morning (2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Mon Jan 3 03:26:07 EST 2011).

                                    Error message in log is below…

                                    php: /status_rrd_graph_img.php: Failed to create graph with error code 1, the error is: ERROR: '/var/db/rrd/wan-traffic.rrd' is not an RRD file/usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/wan-traffic.rrd-month.png –start 1291307056 --end 1294071856 --vertical-label "bits/sec" --color SHADEA#eeeeee --color SHADEB#eeeeee --title "hostname - WAN :: Traffic - 1 month - 1 hour average" --height 200 --width 620 DEF:wan-in_bytes_pass=/var/db/rrd/wan-traffic.rrd:inpass:AVERAGE DEF:wan-out_bytes_pass=/var/db/rrd/wan-traffic.rrd:outpass:AVERAGE DEF:wan-in_bytes_block=/var/db/rrd/wan-traffic.rrd:inblock:AVERAGE DEF:wan-out_bytes_block=/var/db/rrd/wan-traffic.rrd:outblock:AVERAGE CDEF:"wan-in_bits_pass=wan-in_bytes_pass,8," CDEF:"wan-out_bits_pass=wan-out_bytes_pass,8," CDEF:"wan-in_bits_block=wan-in_bytes_block,8," CDEF:"wan-out_bits_block=wan-out_bytes_block,8," CDEF:"wan-in_bytes=wan-in_bytes_pass,wan-in_bytes_block,+" CDEF:"wan-out_bytes=wan-out_bytes_pass,wan-out_bytes_block,+" CDE

                                    Same issue for System, Packets and Quality…

                                    The systems has been up for 58 minutes - if that matters...

                                      I'm on AMD64 and I see these errors on bootup.  Seems to only apply to the Traffic Shaper Graphs but the graphs are displaying correctly, just an annoying bootup error.

                                        Solved this problem by deleting all *.rrd graphs under /var/db/rrd/ !!!

                                        @lustenbe:

                                        Same behavior here, but I am not so sure that it is time related. I am using latest snapshot 2.0-BETA5 (i386)

                                            Not sure if this is related so I started a new thread and linking it here in case it is:
