I'm getting some weird outputs on a counter graph I have, and I'm just trying to understand why. I'm actually using Cacti as a front-end, but I believe the problem is either with rrdtool, or confusion/misconfiguration on my part (which is likely).
This is a quick log of the update commands, showing the actual counter value: 07/14/2003 11:42 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:532 07/14/2003 11:43 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:541 07/14/2003 11:44 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:550 07/14/2003 11:45 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:559 07/14/2003 11:46 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:569 07/14/2003 11:47 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:578 07/14/2003 11:48 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:586 07/14/2003 11:49 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:594 07/14/2003 11:50 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:604 07/14/2003 11:51 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:613 07/14/2003 11:52 AM - CMD: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd --template in1cnt N:620 rrdtool fetch AVERAGE output: 1058197320: 1.8333333333e-01 1058197380: 1.5055555556e-01 1058197440: 1.5000000000e-01 1058197500: 1.5000000000e-01 1058197560: 1.6638888889e-01 1058197620: 1.5027777778e-01 1058197680: 1.3361111111e-01 1058197740: 1.3333333333e-01 1058197800: 1.6611111111e-01 1058197860: 1.4785974499e-01 MAX and MIN both have the same output (why is that?) I'm sampling data (and updating rrdtool) once a minute, and the step value for this datasource is 60 seconds: /var/mwt/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool create \ /var/mwt/htdocs/cacti/rra/in1cnt_9.rrd \ --step 60 \ DS:in1cnt:COUNTER:120:0:1000 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1440 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:10:2016 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:1440 \ RRA:MIN:0.5:1:1440 \ RRA:MIN:0.5:10:2016 \ RRA:MIN:0.5:60:1440 \ RRA:MAX:0.5:1:1440 \ RRA:MAX:0.5:10:2016 \ RRA:MAX:0.5:60:1440 \ I would think that I should be seeing 9,9,9,10,etc. on the graph, instead of .18 .15 etc that's actually showing up. Do I have something messed up here? Do I just not understand how it works? Or is there actually a problem here?
