      Hi seems after a recent update temperature monitoring stopped working.
      There was some discussion about the cordbuc sensor removal being the issue topic 178054.
      One way to fix it was supposedly to simply delete the /var/db/rrd/system-sensors.rrd file and it should be recreated.. However it looks like the normally running updaterrd.sh script doesn't recreate the rrd file if it's missing and bombs out.. sigh..
      There is some code in /etc/inc/rrd.inc that appears to be used to create these rrd files initially, but how does one run the function to do it?

        Hmm, that should be recreated when the rrdupdate process is started. However you can always reset the RRD data in Status > Monitoring > (advanced) Settings. That will reset all the data but it will recreate all the files with the current available data points.

          Hi @stephenw10
          Thanks your post pointed me to where to restart the monitoring service.
          My google searches were failing me.. Everything I found said that restarting it was some where under the System -> Advanced Settings area. But I couldn't find it.
          However it's under that Status -> Monitoring -> Settings ->"Display Advanced" button..
          Sigh. Now I know the term to search for it's easy..
          After disabling and enabling Graphing again it's fixed!

          Cheers
          Richard
