How to change RRD Quality IP?

Gitsum

My RRD WAN:Quality graph is 100% loss due to un-pingable wan gateway. How do we change this to a pingable IP?

You can use a custom target by adding something to your config.xml. Have a look at http://faq.pfsense.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=10&id=38&artlang=en&highlight=hidden (use rrd gateway)

I tried following that path but the link to download the latest default config.xml from the cvs web is broken.
Thanks.
Do you know where in the tree to put the use_rrd_gateway?
I tried to put it under the WAN but it did nothing.

hoba

It should go under system I think.

I had the same problem, I have to change the IP of the gateway of rrdgraoh.
But my gateway is pingable.
Does rrd use a false gateway ?

hoba

It uses the wan gateway by default.

But my default gateway is pingable, I hate to copy/paste my wan gateway in config.xml else the rrd graph quality is red all the time.

Update to the most recent RELENG_1 snaphot. I fixed a bug regarding something similar this weekend that most likely affects this.

I already have the latest snapshot 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-01-24-2007

Gitsum

Yeah, me to. Using latest snapshot.
I added the use_rrd_gateway with a pingable address, but it still doesn't work.

Show us the xml.

Click save on the Interfaces -> WAN screen and see if it fixes it.

RRD needs to be instructed to recreate its info

Gitsum

Nope. Even after restart, it's still showing 100% loss.

sullrich

Run this from a shell.

cat /var/db/rrd/updaterrd.sh | grep out_wan | grep ping

Does your WAN IP gateway appear correctly?

Gitsum

yes, it does.

Gitsum

So, since my WAN gateway seems to be pingable, what would be causing the RRD quality graph to not function properly?

hoba

There seems to be a bug in the latest version that maybe is causing this issues: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3514.0.html

I suppose the issue is solved, isn't it?

I still get 100% loss even though I'm using an rrd_gateway in the config.xml which is pingable.

cat /var/db/rrd/updaterrd.sh | grep out_wan | grep pin
shows the ISP gateway instead of what I entered. I saved on Interfaces|WAN and rebooted but without luck. Any ideas?
