system memory error on 23.01 with patches installed Netgate 2100-MAX

[JonathanLee]

Hello fellow Netgate community,
can you please help? does anyone know what this error is from?

(Image: shows when error occurs on start up 434)

 rc.bootup: The command '/usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/bin/rrdtool update /var/db/rrd/system-memory.rrd N:U:U:U:U:U' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ERROR: /var/db/rrd/system-memory.rrd: expected 8 data source readings (got 5) from N'

(TextBox: Error that occurs)

I have also installed the patches for memory issue.

@jonathanlee RRD data is for monitoring graphs.

Not sure about your error though. Is the monitoring/graphing working?

Thanks for the reply, It seems to be working.

(I do a reboot at 4:00 am each morning)

Looks like that's a harmless side effect of the update. There is one line where I didn't adjust the parameters it uses to put "unknown" values into the RRD file at boot time. That isn't necessary, but it's a good practice.

I fixed it for 23.05 (https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14011) but at the moment it isn't so critical that I feel the need to put a fix in the recommended patches list.

You create a manual entry for 6f8ad15a0160bc1369e9fd4bcf3ac4c8462c9be7 to fetch and apply the fix.
