Default RRA Values

Post by sirlinky »

I made some changes to my RRA values (was trying to raise the poller interval for one switch interface) under Data Sources and have found that any new graphs I create have a much lower resolution than graphs that existed before I made the change.

I'd like to have all graphs looking the same but didn't record the RRA defaults before making the change. Here is what I have currently:

Name Steps Rows Timespan**
Hourly (1 Minute Average) 1 500 14400
Daily (5 Minute Average) 5 600 86400
Weekly (30 Minute Average) 30 700 604800
Monthly (2 Hour Average) 24 775 2678400
Yearly (1 Day Average) 1440 797 33053184

Are these equivalent to the default values? Is there anything I need to do to my recently created graphs to get them looking the same as my existing graphs (I can provide screenshots if this is unclear)?

Many Thanks

From the cacti.sql file

INSERT INTO rra VALUES (1,'c21df5178e5c955013591239eb0afd46','Daily (5 Minute Average)',0.5,1,600,86400);
INSERT INTO rra VALUES (2,'0d9c0af8b8acdc7807943937b3208e29','Weekly (30 Minute Average)',0.5,6,700,604800);
INSERT INTO rra VALUES (3,'6fc2d038fb42950138b0ce3e9874cc60','Monthly (2 Hour Average)',0.5,24,775,2678400);
INSERT INTO rra VALUES (4,'e36f3adb9f152adfa5dc50fd2b23337e','Yearly (1 Day Average)',0.5,288,797,33053184);
INSERT INTO rra VALUES (5,'283ea2bf1634d92ce081ec82a634f513','Hourly (1 Minute Average)',0.5,1,500,14400);

It is always recommended that you don't modify the defaults, but instead create new ones, and select those when you need them.

Thanks for the reply. I take your point about not modifying the default values. I did read about that - and managed to do it in an earlier build but was just having a dumb day when I wiped my defaults :oops: . Oh well as long as I learn.

Since I made the change all of my Data Sources are showing a Poller Interval of 25 minutes. I can't for the life of me see why the poller interval is set so high - can anyone suggest where I should look to set it back to 5 minutes? It is currently 5 minutes for Poller Interval and CRON interval under Configuration -> Settings -> Poller
