Help! Cacti Data Loss After Two Days

[HeshanD]

Guys, I'm new to cacti. The Issue is in my cacti, the graph only shows past 48-hour data and automatically removes the data which are older than 48-hours. Please help me solve this. This graph is so critical for all the reporting and troubleshooting.

Please tell me which data you need to troubleshoot. I 'll attach the graph debug data here.

OK

This is not down to the graph definition but the data profile and timespans that you have defined. 'if you are using 1.2.x, check the data source info out which should give a nice table of what is defined within the RRD file.

The version is "Version 0.8.8h"

You say you are new to Cacti, Is this a new install? 0.8.8h is pretty old.

I am new to the cacti and the system, old admin has left the company.

The problem is for 0.8.x, most diagnosis you are going to have to do by hand. Use the RRDTool's info option to see what the retention is on your data file for the problematic graph. Also, make sure that the file permissions are correct so that new data is being written to it.

You are running a system that is a quite few years old now, it may be worth considering an upgrade (take a backup first though of course!)
