You're calling the xport function incorrectly.

 

>From the help text:

 

Usage: rrdtool [options] command command_options

* xport - generate XML dump from one or several RRD

 

        rrdtool xport [-s|--start seconds] [-e|--end seconds]

                [-m|--maxrows rows]

                [--step seconds]

                [--enumds]

                [DEF:vname=rrd:ds-name:CF]

                [CDEF:vname=rpn-expression]

                [XPORT:vname:legend]

 

Maybe you meant to use 'rrdtool dump datafile.rrd' ?

Subject: [rrd-users] could not make sense out of $file with rrdtool xport

 

RRDtool 1.3.8  Copyright 1997-2009 by Tobias Oetiker <[email protected]>

               Compiled Aug 21 2010 10:57:18

 

Using rrdtool 1.38 I get this error message when trying to use xport on
CentOS 6.5:

 

$ rrdtool xport datafile.rrd

ERROR: Could not make sense out of 'datafile.rrd'

 

Is this a known bug, or did I do something wrong?
