RRD not graphing

jimp

clarknova may be on to something, it may only show up during a specific time frame if there is an issue with date calculation.

When mine is blurred out, I just switch to Previous Period from Current Period and the graphs will display.

I checked in what might be a fix for this:

Has to be time related.. Since they are working fine this morning.

Has anyone been able to make out a pattern, working time vs non-working time? This happened before and it was a noon/midnight switch.

johnpoz

Well I can tell you it was not working from like 12:30 til 3 something in the morning.. But now at 9:30 its working..

I would assume tz are also involved, Im set to america/chicago

Just in case it helps, I posted in another thread similar to this one: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,27910.msg163645.html#msg163645

I noticed there were some messages on my logs that seemed related, but I wasn't sure, so I posted them there.

Could a mod merge these threads? seems to be useful information in all of them, and it may help to have all of them in one thread and prevent crossposting. Perhaps something is posted in two different threads that may make the issue more obvious if seen all at once as well, so that this bug can be resolved.

Oops, no. Sorry. I haven't been on site in over a week and didn't want to upgrade remotely because of the pppoe issues. I'll be there in 36 hours or so and update then.

RRD graphs are now working past midnight with pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-BETA5-20110101-1309. Tried all display options with success.

EDIT - PROBLEM SOLVED

Was braindead and forgot that it wasn't a clean install but an upgrade from the last CD I burned (May 2010 timeframe). Just did a clean install from this mornings liveCD and all is well.

===================
Seems a different issue than those above but under the same topic. Clean install this morning (2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Mon Jan 3 03:26:07 EST 2011).

Error message in log is below…

Same issue for System, Packets and Quality…

I'm on AMD64 and I see these errors on bootup. Seems to only apply to the Traffic Shaper Graphs but the graphs are displaying correctly, just an annoying bootup error.

Solved this problem by deleting all *.rrd graphs under /var/db/rrd/ !!!
