[smokeping-users] RRD parameter mismatch - Wrong value of step

[Julian]

Hi Tobi,

Nope, there is nothing to do with rrdjig. I'm not trying to save the old files, so I dont need to convert them with rrdjig.
My problem is that I can not even start the Smokeping.

I created just one FPing Probe and one Target to a LAN router... just for a test.
I executed  "# ./smokeping --debug" 2  times with a clean data directory on first command time.
This is the result:


# ./smokeping --debug
### Compiling alert detector pattern 'someloss'
### >0%,*12*,>0%,*12*,>0%
sub {............ removed as non important (I assume)}
    
Calling RRDs::create(/usr/local/smokeping/var/data/HSI/Router.rrd --start 1318919609 --step 300 DS:uptime:GAUGE:600:0:U DS:loss:GAUGE:600:0:5 DS:median:GAUGE:600:0:180 DS:ping1:GAUGE:600:0:180 DS:ping2:GAUGE:600:0:180 DS:ping3:GAUGE:600:0:180 DS:ping4:GAUGE:600:0:180 DS:ping5:GAUGE:600:0:180 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1008 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:4320 RRA:MIN:0.5:12:4320 RRA:MAX:0.5:12:4320 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:144:720 RRA:MAX:0.5:144:720 RRA:MIN:0.5:144:720)

Error: RRD parameter mismatch ('Wrong value of step: /usr/local/smokeping/var/data/HSI/Router.rrd has 621503053589119276, create string has 300'). You must delete /usr/local/smokeping/var/data/HSI/Router.rrd or fix the configuration parameters.
#


I cant figure out where from the RRD parameter  621503053589119276 is coming.

Any ideas on how to get rid of this error will be really appreciated.

Thank you,
Julian
