<br><font size=3 face="sans-serif">hi everybody,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">i'am monitoring the port-traffic of multiple
McData ED6140 SAN-Directors using Cacti and RRDTool 1.2.15 on a Windows
2003 server .</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">i'am using the pre-compiled version of RRDTool
from http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">subsequently i'am receiving messages like
"ERROR: not a simple integer: '1.28492261154E+012' " when Cacti
wants to update a rrd-file.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">the graph will not be updated until i clear
the counters on the McData director itself. after setting the counters
on the director to zero the</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">graph will be updated until the "ERROR:
not a simple integer: ?????" is displayed during Cacti poller cycles
again.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">this happens to multiple ports dependend
on the amount of traffic either transfered or received by the port.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">and the situation is the same when i try
to update the rrd by hand using "rrdtool update ......." with
a different timestamp, but the same values</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">for the fields rxelement and txelement.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">i already found some posts in the web, with
a similar error, where a update to version 1.2.18 fixed the problem.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">but where can i get a pre-compiled version
1.2.18 of RRDTool?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">any hints ??</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">thanx i advance</font>
