Pick on one interface and run it manually a few times with a about 5 minute spacing and see if you get data. If you change the poll interval from 5 minutes you also need to adjust the RRD definition as the default step interval is 5 minutes which is almost guaranteed to mess things up. The heartbeat is usually twice that at 10 minutes which, if it is not changed, would mean you would get hit and misses with your polling.
You can check that the data is going in by looking at the timestamps of the files, obviously they should be incrementing. So let's check some things, i'll use an example of my rrd file: # rrdtool info /var/local/jffnms-website/rrd/interface-11-1.rrd | head -6 filename = "/var/local/jffnms-website/rrd/interface-11-1.rrd" rrd_version = "0003" step = 300 last_update = 1168465203 ds[data].type = "COUNTER" ds[data].minimal_heartbeat = 600 I've got a step of 300 and a heartbeat of 600, 5 minutes and 10 minutes repectively. So normally the data comes in at 5 minutes and if I don't get something within 10 minutes I get unknown. My poller runs every 5 so it means 2 misses. last update is 1168465203, which is unix timestamp. # expr `date +'%s'` - 1168465203 157 The last update was 157 seconds ago. Check the heartbeat. If it is wrong use rrdtool tune. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
