[rrd-users] Re: YANQ - Yet Another N00b Question - RRD not updati ng with expected data

[Brander, Eric]

Ok, I got a hunch.  I think I may have made my rrds as counters instead of
gauges.  Is there a quick and easy way to confirm that?

Subject: [rrd-users] YANQ - Yet Another N00b Question - RRD not updating
with expected data



Preface: I'm a total RRDTool novice.

I use this dinky little script to update an rrd:

#!c:\perl\bin\perl -w

use LWP::Simple;

$_ = get("http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KAUS.html");
if (/<TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">  (.*?)%/) {
	$hum = "$1";
}
if (/<TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">  (.*?) F/) {
	$temp = "$1";
}

#printing the variables and time are just for me to look at
print "$hum\n";
print "$temp\n";
print time, "\n";

system("rrdtool update weather.rrd N:$hum:$temp");


I run that every 5 minutes.  When I do a fetch;

rrdtool fetch weather.rrd AVERAGE --start -8640

I get:

1044562200: -1.#IND000000e+000 -1.#IND000000e+000

I get 0's where I'd expect a humidity and a temperature number.  So I must
be doing something wrong. My variables are correct, as they print out the
expected data.  Could someone throw me a clue as to what I am doing wrong?  

TIA!

You can make a CDEF with a value of 100 and make it a red area in the
graph, then make an area with your data in green. As long as you use AREA
in both cases they should overlay and you get the effect you want.
