Status / Monitoring "Error: '/var/db/rrd/system-processor.rrd' is too small"

Hi,

We've got a Netgate SG-2100. I'm trying to monitor our interfaces using the Status > Monitoring section of the PFSense dashboard. When viewing the page I'm getting an error regarding the file size of system-processor.rrd and as such get no monitoring data

Does anybody know what the cause of this is / how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi :

First, have a look at that folder :

ls -al /var/db/rrd

You should see several rrd files.
These files have 'fixed' sizes, depending on what's stored in it, and what the maximum history.

What you could try :
Disable the grahhing. (red button on the Satus => Monitoring page)
Copy (move or rename actually)the file /var/db/rrd/system-processor.rrd to /var/db/rrd/system-processor.rrd.old
Enable the graphing.
The file should be re created.

A file like "system-processor.rrd" is created when the system (the rrd system) start up the very first time. The main reason why that shouldn't work out is mainly : file system bad or no more space on the disk.

See the Youtube => Netgate "file system check" video how you can check and repair, if needed, the file system.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've just renamed the file to .old, re-enabled graphing and everything is back and working.

Thanks for your help.
