[rrd-users] Graphing errors on the image

Tue Feb 12 13:51:08 CET 2008

Dear All

At first thanks to the developers for the nice tools (special to Tobi of course).

Each time I refresh smokeping html page I see different errors on image (please, see http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c226/max_budyonny/Graph_err.jpg).

Errors began to appear some month ago (not from the installation moment). It was FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE-p18 ports package.
I thought it was due a libs inconsistency and totally recompiled rrdtool and smokeping to the latest versions from sources without errors. Now it is smokeping-2.3.0 and rrdtool-1.2.26.
So I have new installation (zoom works fine) but errors appear again.

Also sometimes I see the following in the detailed smokeping html page:
