GPRINT error - returns zero value when set to Exact Numbers

[garyb]

Just checked it again

output: vid_use1:7

[garyb]

Any ideas?

output: vid_use1:10

"Exact numbers" only rounds the number to return an integer. So what did you expect?
R.

[garyb]

So what setting should I be using to output the values as they come from my script?

[gandalf]

RRDTooll always stores a rate. So, assuming that poller interval is 300 sec, you will have to multiply the data with 300 to receive the "normalized" value for that very interval.

I say "normalized", because rrdtool ALWAYS performs a normalization to exact 300 sec boundaries! See e.g. http://www.vandenbogaerdt.nl for better explanations
R.

gandalf,

This is still causing issues for us.

I created a cdef function to multiply the data by 300, as your last post suggests (if I've understood that right)

But still... our graph's GPRINT shows as 0, when the script is outputting larger numbers.

Interestingly.. the MAX GPRINT does now work, but the LAST and AVG still show as zero.

Any more ideas?

Thanks

Interestingly... this server is one part of a pair of servers running the same base build.

I quickly tested configuring my script and graph template etc on that box - and it works. With No CDEF function and the GPRINT type set to exact numbers.

Any ideas?

Please post a screenshot of the "failing" graph and the rrdtool graph command seen when hitting the wrench

Don't worry

We have now decided not to pursue / use Cacti any longer.
