Need help with abnormal graph

Post by ultmarksman »

My graph using custom template is becoming abnormal and I can't find the reason.
It looks like the time frame for calculation is sliding a little bit.
Please help.
Btw, sry for my bad english.

Cacti 0.8.8h
Spine 0.8.8h
poller/cron frequency 1 minute
rrdtool 1.3.8
Centos 6.8 64bit

/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \

That certainly does appear a bit odd. Its not a counter overrun, since it is affecting both inbound and outbound and it should happen less frequently as the data amount gets smaller. I assume there isn't anything abnormal with your polling times (maybe check the timestamps for jumps around that period that it happens)? Is this a VM or Physical machine? Does the clock time appear normal or does it slowly get off?

It is a physical machine. There is ntpd service running. The system time is fine as of now.

After I did a little searching. I think the problem may come from wrong RRA template settings. So I'm gonna test something out and I will tell the result later.

Btw, please feel free to comment if I'm doing something wrong. I'm new at cacti.
