[mrtg] Discontinuity at midnight

[Steve Shipway]

That is really weird.  We have an F5 too, but don’t experience this sort of
pattern.

 

It can’t be a counter reset at midnight, because that would only affect the
first sample after that point.  The graphs look almost like two separate
things glued together, rather than a single event at midnight.

 

My only guess would be some sort of scheduled task causing a failover.  Do
you have several F5 devices in a cluster?  If so, it could be that at
midnight (for some reason) one or more groups fail over to the other cluster
member.  This would result in fewer connections via the one you’re
monitoring.  Maybe check the logs to see if and when any cluster group
failovers happen, or changes between active/active and active/passive on
groups.

 

I’d be interested to hear what the eventual resolution for this is.

Subject: [mrtg] Discontinuity at midnight

 

Is it normal to see values jump suddenly at midnight?  Is something getting
in SNMP or MRTG getting reset?  I am seeing this in both normal and gauge
type graphs.  Don't believe there is anything getting reset on the server
(an F5 Big-IP load balancer, in this case).
