[SOLVED] Odd Error

Post by fogster »

This is pretty much a "stock" install of Cacti on Gentoo Linux. I don't believe I changed much of anything, and haven't added my own settings.

Graphs of load average and processes work fine. Memory and logged-in users both fail with similar errors. Turning on Graph Debug Mode yields the following error:
ERROR: parameter '#FF4105' does not represent a number in line AREA:#FF4105:Free
I don't understand how this is suddenly broken, or how to fix it? The full text:
/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - \
--imgformat=PNG \
--start=-86400 \
--end=-300 \
--title="Localhost - Memory Usage" \
--rigid \
--base=1000 \
--height=120 \
--width=500 \
--alt-autoscale-max \
--lower-limit=0 \
--vertical-label="kilobytes" \
--slope-mode \
AREA:#FF4105:"Free" \
GPRINT::LAST:"Current\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT::AVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT::MAX:"Maximum\:%8.2lf %s\n" \
AREA:#FFC73B:"Swap":STACK \
GPRINT::LAST:"Current\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT::AVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s" \
GPRINT::MAX:"Maximum\:%8.2lf %s"
What is wrong, and how do I fix it? :-?

Ack, this is happening to most graphs, it turns out. I just pulled in the WeatherBug graph data, and that one dies with a similar error about AREA.

Googling this error turns up nothing. Argh!

It would appear that you yaked either a template or CDEF. Simply review your graph template. Your data is fine.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Doh!

I have no idea what I did to break it, but a simple re-install fixed it. Thanks!
