Lost Graph Data!

Post by jay_oasis »

I needed to export my graphs to .png to put on a website, I set up the export in the console to a local directory and waited for the export.

Once the exported finhsed I opened the exported graphs to find they are all empty, there is a grid but no data! Even worse I then went to my live graphs and all the data has been lost from these graphs as well. They have started to collected data again but all the previous data has been lost.

What did I do wrong here?

Thanks.

A quick update, the next set of exports went fine.

A bit more info, the first export had an extra slash in the export directory that causes it to fail, I fixed it then got the blank graph issue on the next export, after that all the graphs and exports where fine (apart from all the previous data had gone)

I wonder if the initial error caused by the extra slash in the path caused the issue? I didn't actually check the live graphs until I got the initial export with the blank graphs so the data could have been lost on the first errored export.

Generally, in UNIX/Linux, and extra slash makes absolutely no difference. So, it's more than likely something else.
