RRD files for new graphs not created post structured RRA

[scrupul0us]

Ater moving to structured RRA (setting is checked) and running the update to shift things around (cli script) NEW GRAPHS are not creating RRD files...

Graph debug shows the correct structured path for the device but the RRD file is missing fromthat directory

Existing graphs continue work without issue.

./rra and all subfolders are chmod 755

Before structured RRA the ./rra was chmod 755 and worked just fine.

I tried clearing the poller cache, no luck.

I tried manually creating one of the many missing files for this new switch and it is not updated on the poller run, no luck.

I tried chmod 777 for ./rra and subfolders, nu luck.

I'm running: 0.8.8b

Manually running the rrd create command shown in the cacti UI under debug does create the RRD file however it is not being updated when the poller runs, nor does it appear in the poller cache

So, adding a new device and graphs DOES work.

It creates the folders and the RRD files.

Still debugging more

So I have this isolated to the graph template.

Back story:

A few months ago, I installed the aggregate BW plugin and updated my main "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec, Total Bandwidth)" to reflect the new CDEF to get outbound BW on the negative side.

So today I was asked if I could make some "normal" looking graphs so I duped the "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec, Total Bandwidth)" template and set its CDEF/etc back to how it would be stock from cacti.

This way I could choose between creating one type or the other.

It's when I'm using this new duped template that the RRD's are not generating.

I did just add a test switch to my installation and used my "Interface - Traffic (bits/sec, Total Bandwidth)" setup for aggregate and it generated everything beautifully.

So, somehow, somewhere this graph template is the cause of the problem.

Deleted the duped graph template, built it from scratch, added all the items (which in turn added the in and out data sources) and now when i try to create graphs on this new template I get:

ERROR: no Data Source associated. Check Template

Yet in the template, the DS is clearly there
