[rrd-users] only getting nan values

[Jim Sher]

Hi there Everyone,

Hoping someone can help me out. I'm trying to build up graphs on a
Raspberry Pi (2B) running Rasbian Jessie.

I'm using cron to run a script every 5 minutes to get some values and
update the RRD files and then draw the graphs.

My script to populate the RRAs in the RRD:

> #! /bin/bash
>
> LOAD=`cat /proc/loadavg | awk '{print $1}'`
> RXBYTES=`cat /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/rx_bytes`
> TXBYTES=`cat /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/tx_bytes`
> TEMP=`/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp|cut -c6-9`
> MEM=`free -b | grep Mem | awk '{print $4/$2 * 100.0}'`
> /usr/bin/rrdtool update load.rrd N:$LOAD/usr/bin/rrdtool update data.rrd -t datadown:dataup N:$RXBYTES:$TXBYTES/usr/bin/rrdtool update pitemp.rrd N:$TEMP/usr/bin/rrdtool update mem.rrd N:$MEM
>
> echo $LOAD
> echo $RXBYTES
> echo $TXBYTES
> echo $TEMP
> echo $MEM
>
> As you can see, I'm drawing graphs for:

   - Load Averages
   - Data Throughput Counter
   - CPU/GPU/SoC Temperature
   - Memory Percentage

As well as outputting the values to the terminal as a confirmation that the
values being passed are numbers.

So I run the script and get this:

> 0.362665426950166912415141.72.36093
>
> This all looks fine, especially as there are no data type definitions in
bash (so no need to worry about integers/doubles/strings/etc). I then run
the script to draw the graphs:

> #! /bin/bash
> /usr/bin/rrdtool graph 'data.png' \--title 'Odin traffic (eth0)' \--watermark "Graph Drawn `date`" \--vertical-label 'Bytes' \--alt-autoscale \--units=si \--width '640' \--height '300' \--full-size-mode \--start end-172800s \'DEF:rx=data.rrd:datadown:AVERAGE' \'DEF:tx=data.rrd:dataup:AVERAGE' \'AREA:rx#FF0000FF:Tx\:' \'GPRINT:tx:LAST:\:%8.2lf %s]' \'STACK:tx#0709FDFF:Rx\:' \'GPRINT:rx:LAST:\:%8.2lf %s]\n'
> /usr/bin/rrdtool graph 'load.png' \--title 'Odin Load Average' \--watermark "Graph Drawn `date`" \--alt-autoscale \--width '640' \--height '300' \--full-size-mode \--start end-172800s \'DEF:load=load.rrd:load:AVERAGE' \'AREA:load#FF0000FF:Load Average\:' \'GPRINT:load:LAST:\:%8.2lf %s]'
> /usr/bin/rrdtool graph 'mem.png' \--title 'Odin Memory Usage' \--watermark "Graph Drawn `date`" \--vertical-label '%' \--upper-limit '100' \--lower-limit '0' \--width '640' \--height '300' \--full-size-mode \--start end-172800s \'DEF:mem=mem.rrd:mem:AVERAGE' \'AREA:mem#FF0000FF:Memory\:' \'GPRINT:mem:LAST:\:%8.2lf %s]'
> /usr/bin/rrdtool graph 'pitemp.png' \--title 'Odin SoC Temperature' \--watermark "Graph Drawn `date`" \--vertical-label '°C' \--alt-autoscale \--width '640' \--height '300' \--full-size-mode \--start end-172800s \'DEF:pitemp=pitemp.rrd:pitemp:AVERAGE' \'AREA:pitemp#FF0000FF:CPU/GPU Temperature\:' \'GPRINT:pitemp:LAST:\:%8.2lf %s]'

values are not numbers (nan). Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I'll be cleaning up the formatting of the graphs themselves once i get
the values to start displaying.
