Problems with graphs

wtb1 · Post by **wtb1** » Thu May 17, 2007 3:13 pm

First let me say cacti is what we have been looking for to help us in monitoring and establishing baselines for our network. It has been an adventure to get things running and still trouble shooting.

While looking at some graphs I saw a problems I have not been able to fix so far. Poller is working fine and returning good data. When I go to Tree view and click on some thing that has data in to check say traffic on a port on a router I get the following in the picture.

When I click on the link for the second graphs it shows up. I would just like all the graphs to show when I click on a device.

Any thought?

Please verify "rrdtool -v" with "Settings -> RRDTool Utility version"

Please select the Graph from Graph Management, switch to DEBUG and post the whole "rrdtool graph" statement found

RRDTool Says:

OK

But this is not the failing graph from your first screenshot. Does this one fail as well?

The graph does not fail per se. In tree mode, I select say my Exchange server to see all the graphs I have defined. Most show up but two only show the link to the grap (see above screen shot). If I click on the link to the graph it comes up fine in the Drill Down.

I am still having this wierd issue where on the the graph tab some graphs do not show but with a red X but when I click on the graph it show up fine on the next page.

Are you using specific font settings? Either global font settings or private ones?

Here is my font settings

c:/rrdtool/DejaVuSansMono-Roman.ttf

Post by **gandalf** » Tue May 22, 2007 2:03 pm

Just as a try: if removing this font settings, does the problem change?
What about the performance of the file system storing the rrd files? Just talked to a user running rrd files on an NFS mount having similar issues ... I suspect timing issues in this case ...

I downgraded rrdtool to 1.2.15 and this has fixed my issue.

Wow, good find. Was definitively not on my list!

BSOD suggested this earlier today.

Thanks for your posting,
I'm the user Gandalf mentioned behind the NFS mount with a similar problem.
We're using RRDtool 1.2.17 and I wiil asap downgrade to 1.2.15 if the problem persists accessing from local hard disks.
Best regards
