      @mskenderian:

      How is my system time set to the future? I dont see a problem with the time.

      Sorry I should of said the time in your RRD graphs files are set in the future, this is why youre getting this error

      @mskenderian:

      Delete those files I mentioned earlier and press save in the gui for Status/RRD Graphs/Settings

          Maybe give it some time to regenerate some data, if you still have no joy trying deleting *-quality.rrd in /var/db/rrd and dont forget to press save in the gui as well, JIC

            I will wait a day and report back. but let me just say, before this fix, i had empty charts, now in Quality i dont even have a empty chart. it doesnt show the chart at all.

              You dont need a day, even the smallest of traffic will generate something within 10 mins, the reason you dont see anything at all in the quality chart is because it pulls the data from the rrd files you deleted earlier…

              check if there are any and the size of the *-quality.rrd files in /var/db/rrd

              ls -l

              Give the firewall a reboot and check the size of those files again, they should have changed and you should see some graphs for quality, if not report back.

                        Glad you got it working, for future reference/knowledge the red coloured field is the file size

                          I got some more issues now.

                          I changed the system network cards around, and i wanted to reset the RRD data.

                          now that i did that. under quality tab and then graph i dont see LAN, LAN2, WAN.. i just see allgraphs, and outbound, i did a restart now i see LAN2, but LAN and WAN is missing.

                          Any ideas. i checked. the /var/db/rrd folder i do see WAN-qaulity.rrd

                          i went to the interfaces and completely disabled LAN2. stoped RRD, cleared data, started RRD. and now same thing i see the wan-quality.rrd file and in the graphs i see LAN2, i think at one point the current LAN2 was my WAN2, and now my current lan2 is my wan, and my current wan is my old wan2.

                          if that makes any sense?

                          so i think its grabbing the old names.. how can i fix this?
