Status -> Monitoring shows no activity
-
I have two pfsense 2.5.2 boxes and I configured the default monitoring graph for the WAN gateways of both boxes. I have issues in one of the boxes wherein the graph doesn't show any activity. It looks like so:
This used to be working. I'm not sure when it broke but it did.

@kevindd992002
I have seen that, too. Monitoring depends on the RRD data accumulated and that I dependent on correct time. Make sure your NTP is in sync. That's all I got. -

And my time servers are set as such:
-
That's usually because it's not actually using that gateway. If the gateway is renamed or replaced the old 'WANGW` entry will still exist (the RRD file is there) but no longer updated.
The default gateway name would be WAN_DHCP for new installs.Steve
-
@stephenw10 it is definitely using the WANGW gateway as the default one. I only have one WAN gateway and one WireGuard S2S gateway. Even the Wireguard doesn't have any data:
And this isn't a new install, if that matters.
-
And it is creating quality data for those interfaces? You see pings times etc in Status > Gateways?

Yes.
-
Then I would reset the RRD data at that point.

And what's the correct process to do that?
-
There's a button for it in System > Monitoring > Settings. In your first screenshot above.

Ok, I just did that. How long do the RRD files get generated with useful data? Right now, I have a blank graph area and the Graph field doesn't show anything that I could choose from.
-
I believe 1h is the shortest interval it can attempt to display so I would wait at least that long.

Well, it's the same thing after resetting:

Have a look at the rrd file :
ls -alrt /var/db/rrd/This command will revers list, with details, all the rrd files.
Are the time stamps all very recent ?

I assume you see no data for the OpenVPN gateway either?

Correct.
-
Correct time and date on the box? I've seen some odd things happen there when it tries to display data from the wrong time etc. I haven't seen anything like that in 2.5.2 though.

Yes, time and date synced with NTP servers. I haven't seen any time issues with this box when I'm checking logs. They seem to be on point.
-
Hmm, must be something different. Any errors logged when you open the graphs?
