rrd update from POLLER produces NaNs intermettently

Post by hthornton »

I'm using a server script to collect data which never fails. The POLLER executes the "rrd update" every 5 minutes, also without fail.
Unfortunately, I am seeing sporadic NaNs in my RRD and gaps in my graphs.

From cacti.log:

So of course, my graphs look like this:

I hope someone can provide some advice on why this is happening. Thank you.
