Cacti Graphs displaying two days of historical data

[aanyoti]

Hi All, I am new here and in need of urgent help. I am currently running Cacti 0.8.8h which is working well but cannot seem to collect more than 2days of historical graph data, which is very frustrating. I have upgraded/downgraded Cacti and the RRD tool but to no avail. It is extremely important that I have historical graph data for all my 1000 plus graphs for billing purposes and would greatly appreciate any assistance. I would like to exhaust all avenues before thinking of a complete reinstall so any guidance would be extremely appreciated.

Show us your RRAs, as you have this, which is definitely shows us that your RRAs you have selected for that data template are only set to hold a tiny amount of data.

Hi cigamit,

Thank you for your reply. Below are the RRA's. What paramters need to be changed to increase the amount of data to be held to more than a year? Will appreciate your guidance:

Hello-any help here would really be appreciated.

I have changed the RRA's but still no improvement. Graphs are consistently showing only 2 days of data.

Please help:

Did you goto the Data Template in question and ensure that those RRAs are now selected on it. Also note, it will only change new graphs. You will have to delete the RRDs of the old graphs to get them to change to the new RRAs (or modify the old rrds by command line)

Thanks again for the response. Yes i have applied the new RRA's to the Data Templates, are they correct?

Deleting the RRD's would be a lot of work, is editing them via command line any easier? What exactly do I need to edit?

Again thanks for your assistance.
