I've run into the following error four times in the last two weeks or so: ERROR: Cannot update /local/data/mrtg/device/distb.binc.net/log/8_16.rrd with '1056551775:1264697581:1078609798' illegal attempt to update using time 1056551775 when last update time is 2099102368 (minimum one second step)
Obviously, I'm using mrtg with rrdtool (mrtg 2.9.25 and rrdtool 1.0.38 on Solaris 8). If I do a rrdtool fetch and look at the data, there are only a few entries, and these are naturally far in the future (2036). The solution is to delete the offending rrd file, restore it from the last backup, and start again. However, this is kind of a pain, as mrtg stops collecting data for the interfaces or ports after this one (although I think this has only occurred with switches). Has anyone seen this sort of issue before? I couldn't find anything in the archives. I will probably upgrade both mrtg and rrd, but if anyone has any other thoughts I'd appreciate them. BTW, as far as I can tell, the system time shouldn't be an issue; I use ntp, and that seems to be behaving well. Were the system time an issue, I would expect more than one rrd at a time to have problems.
