Yeah, I already figured that out.
I am going to be a very sad panda if I have to nuke all these RRDs because
the format's changed.
sad is bad.
here is a way to convert your old RRDs to the new format (i think).
I've tarballed (and mothballed) the old version's RRDs. I guess I'll
convert them if there's any interest in that data. Mostly people want to
know about the last 24-72 hours.
do you think we should make some conversion scripts for the 2.5.0 release?
I think plastering notices all over the place and possibly putting a test
into gmetad (on normal update error, of course) should be enough.
Maybe I'm just saying this because I don't want to write the script. :)
I'll tell you this, though - I'm seeing gaps in both cluster graphs like
you wouldn't believe. I don't know what's causing it but I assume it's
related to gmetad assuming its data sources are dead so quickly. It can't
be an "it's an old version" thing because it happens on both new and old
versions...
i'm sorry that the RRD format is changed but it's necessary for ganglia to
grow.
What made me a sad panda was that this fact wasn't well-publicized, not
that it happened to begin with.
Besides, if the rumors are true and Farscape *won't* be coming back for a
fifth season, then I find it hard to get worked up about the data source
changes in the RRDs. :S
