[rrd-users] Re: REPOST #3 updates periodically doing nothing

[Alvaro Cornejo]

Hi Michael

I had a similar problem with MRTG and found that the data files were corrupted.
The workarround I found is to delete the data file (previous backup) and
recreate it again. I then do a "merge" of the data from both files

The problem is that sometimes the merge does not work and thus, all historical
data is lost...

Hope this gives you a hint

Regards

Alvaro

Subject: [rrd-users] REPOST #3 updates periodically doing nothing


Does anyone have any insight into this?  I've mailed the rrd-users twice
and the developer list once, with no replies.  I've been using rrdtool
for over a year for 2 different types of projects, and this issue just
started happening about 2 months ago.

=== Reposted message ===

I'm running rrdtool on an Alpha Linux system, compiled with gcc and one
of my rrd's periodically does not put correct data into the db during an
update.  The data, regardless of input, gets stored as a `0' and there
is no error or warning message.

Currently, it has been almost 2 weeks since there has been a meaningful
update.  In the past, it has only gone a few days with `0's as data, and
then it would go back to recording the correct data.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
