[solved] Help with home grown data source template

[camerabob]

I have been pulling my hair out for months on this and I'm finally giving in to the masses for aid. I created a custom data template to try to get a bit more data from a PING only template. I have written the PERL script and it works fine from the command line and from the real time poller in the graph tab. When it comes to the CRON, the very first poll pulls good data.

poll1.png (141.4 KiB) Viewed 608 times

After that, I get Nan.

poll2.png (122.07 KiB) Viewed 608 times

Real time polling:

pollRT.png (39.74 KiB) Viewed 606 times

The file permissions are all good. I have checked them over and over again. The script successfully writes to an offline debug file, so I know it executes and provides valid data. I'm stumped here... Anyone?

Much appreciated in advance

This has been solved. Sometime during an upgrade, all of the profiles had been renamed to "Upgrade Profile 1". I had been picking that profile arbitrarily thinking that it was unique. After discovering this and naming the profiles adequately (1 minute polling..., 5 minute polling..., etc.) I now see good data in my graphs. The funny thing is during the overnight, real time graphing stopped working. I'll deal with that should it become necessary.

That might be worth a bug report on GitHub. Can you log it?
