Yesterday you sent me mail regarding Spikes in RRD after a dead zone: *> Hi Tobias, *> I am noting some spikes that shouldn't be. I am collecting in & out octets *> on many network devices, and occasionally my polling routine cannot *> hit a device. When the connection is resestablished, I get spikes that *> are just under the max I set for the RRD database. However, seems *> to me that RRD should recognize this 1st observation (after the the *> series of Unknown reading) as a special case and not record these spikes. *> Seems that RRD is reporting in the one interval, all traffic that was *> incurred over the entire "Unknown" interval. *> *> Is there a setting I have missed ?
no, your assumption is correct, the *UNKNOWN* entries do reset the measurement ... can you try to store the update arguments you are using to create this database 'problem' so that I can reproduce it ? Best would be a little script which creates the database, then runs the updates required to create the problematic spikes ... cheers tobi -- ______ __ _ /_ __/_ / / (_) Oetiker, Timelord & SysMgr @ EE-Dept ETH-Zurich / // _ \/ _ \/ / TEL: +41(0)1-6325286 FAX:...1517 ICQ: 10419518 /_/ \.__/_.__/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-developers
