Monitoring stops after reboot, now SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected chara

[iorx]

Hi!

Got an odd one here which I would like to figure out why it's happening. The monitoring stops, flat lines, after a reboot. Can't get it going again without doing a "Reset Graphing Data".

Unsure which info I can provide to help out here.

I have no RRD or monitoring events in the systemlog after reboot.

Running on latest stable.

Hi to my self and hopefully someone who can give a lead on to what the trouble might be.

Tried updating to latest 2.3.3,
Now I get, this from the monitoring page.

"Error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 2 column 1 of the JSON data"

2.3.3-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Thu Jan 05 06:45:19 CST 2017

Hi "I got my own thread!"  :)

I found the cause but not sure if its solvable.

My pfsense is a guest in a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V. A reboot of the pfsense made the clock take a jump, backwards.  ::)

Running the update script manually show this:
ERROR: /var/db/rrd/ovpns2-traffic.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1483895952 when last update time is 1484149652 (minimum one second step)
1484149652s-1483895952s=253700s, ~1h10m …

I had the guest-service for the guest machine turned off in Hyper-V because I wanted pfsense to manage the time through NTP by it self.

I'll proceed with some trial and error here to see which combination of time-sync that's working in my setup.
