[pfSense] RRD persistence

2015-01-07 Thread Nenhum_de_Nos
Hail,

I have a couple of pfsense using the nanobsd approach. Great stability, great 
for flash memory.
But I always loose my rrd data when I reboot.

is there a way to have it written like once a day/week ?

thanks,

matheus

Doesn't it automatically save the latest files when you reboot?
I don't reboot often, but I don't remember ever having lost data
(except if the firewall crashes - which did happen a few times in the
past).

Regards,

 It does save them on a clean reboot. It can't save them if the power is
 cut or the OS crashes/reboots uncleanly, though.

 Some people reboot by yanking the power out from under a device or
 using a hardware (or VM) reset button. That works, of course, but should
 be a last resort. Rebooting via Diagnostics  Reboot or the equivalent
 console/ssh menu option is best.

I had two power outages, in both the box was up for about 180 days. So my last 
year traffic is all
lost :(

thanks for the tips !

 In system - advanced - miscellaneous tab, there is an option to set how
 frequently to back up the RRD databases.
