Removing a "spike" in my graph.

Post by Cougar »

Apologies for re-asking such an often asked question. But just wondering if someone can tell me what or of I am doing something wrong.

I am graphing temperature and for about three hours the "data" received was -30C. This was obviously incorrect. When I initially created the datasource I set the minimum to -100 for some silly reason.

This is what I have done to try and remedy (remove) these incorrect values.
Changed the minimum value in the datasourse to -20 within cacti. I then ran a rrdtool tune <filenname> --minimum -20 and it worked (as in it saved to the file.

Am I wrong in thinking this should change the -30 values to NaNs? (but it hasn't)

Yout help is greatly apreciated. Thanks

It will change all new updates below -20 to NaNs but will chnage not a single existing entry. Search the forum for an rrd file editor contributed some time ago
