[rrd-users] Returning nan values

[Mersberger, Robert]

I don't think I can help on this because I am having the same type of
problem with my new install of MRTG.  I know the values are there and
rrdtool does an update to the rrd but for some reason it is all nulls.
If I run the same command the you did on one of my rrds I get pretty
much the same info.

I am running of a Fedora Fc9 install.


I will keep following your posting .

my rrdtool.update is within an if statement, I don't think it matters,
but does that have an affect on it? After the update command I
time.sleep(60) and I guess I can't figure out why I'm only getting nan
values
