I have two similar RRDs, only one of which I can get data out of. Something
seems to be going on with the consolidated data points, but I can't figure it
out. The two RRDs are of the same structure and format, and the same Perl code
creates them and updates them (with differing names and data).
The creation code used for both is:
sub createRRD
{
my $rrdname = $_[0];
my $execstr = "set -e; rrdtool create " . $rrdname .
" -s 3600 " . # we want every hour, so 60 x 60
"DS:task:GAUGE:7200:0:U " .
"DS:enh:GAUGE:7200:0:U " .
"DS:low:GAUGE:7200:0:U " .
"DS:med:GAUGE:7200:0:U " .
"DS:high:GAUGE:7200:0:U " .
"DS:urgent:GAUGE:7200:0:U " .
"DS:total:GAUGE:7200:0:U " .
"RRA:MIN:0.5:24:365 " .
"RRA:MAX:0.5:24:365 " .
"RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:24 " . # 24 samples for daily average
"RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:168 " . # weekly average
"RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:720 " . # monthly average
"RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:8760 " . # yearly average
"RRA:LAST:0.5:1:72";
system($execstr);
}
The update code is:
sub updateTrackedItem
{
my $rrdname = @_[0];
my $rrdfile = $RRDdir . "/" . $rrdname . "/total.rrd";
if (! -e "$rrdfile") {
warn "Update failed! total.rrd file for '$rrdname' doesn't exist!\n";
return;
}
my ($t, $e, $l, $m, $h, $u, $tt) = collectBugTotals($rrdname, "getTotal");
my $exestr = "rrdtool update $rrdfile N:$t:$e:$l:$m:$h:$u:$tt";
print "Updating with exestr:$exestr\n";
system($exestr);
...
A fetch on the first RRD works fine showing the data I put in. A fetch on the
second one shows NaNs. I can run updates manually on either attempting to put
values in; in each case there is no error and a 'rrd tool last <name>' shows
they were updated. But a fetch on the second RRD always shows NaNs for values.
The only difference I can see is the (now) timestamp for creation.
An 'rrd info' on the second shows it has 'unknown_sec' values equivalent to an
offset from the lastupdate value to be a consolidated timestamp in the ds part
(in the first that is 0), and it has 'unknown_datapoints' values in a number of
the
rra[].cdp_prep[*] structures. Those are zeros in the first rrd.
Can someone tell me what's going on?
Thanks,
David N. Beck
