Subject: RE: [hobbit] ifstat.mac.rrd question
We see the same item on some of the Solaris boxes. We did the following
to fix it.
In the client/bin directory on the client.
Change hobbitclient-sunos.sh
/usr/bin/kstat -p -s '[or]bytes64'|grep -v wrsmd | sort
To
/usr/bin/kstat -p -s '[or]bytes64'|egrep -v 'wrsmd|mac' | sort
You may not even have the grep within the line to remove the wrsmd.
If this is not on a Solaris system, you will need to look at the
appropriate client file in the same directory.
You may also want to go into the rrd host directory and remove the
ifstat.mac.rrd file.

I am getting this error message in my rrd-data.log about every

I looked in the archive about this and only found one entry that did

provide much help.
Also in the trends in the network traffic graph I see an interface
named "mac".
2010-02-15 08:41:35 RRD error updating
/local/xymon/data/rrd/gauss.math.purdue.edu/ifstat.mac.rrd from
128.210.3.205:
/local/xymon/data/rrd/gauss.math.purdue.edu/ifstat.mac.rrd: illegal
attempt to update using time 1266241295 when last update time is
1266241295 (minimum one second step)
1) what is the "mac" interface?
2) what is causing the above error and how can I prevent this?
If 128.210.3.205 is gauss then try running "ifconfig" (or equivalent)
on it, see what it says, see if "mac" is listed more than once. Are
there other ifstat rrds for gauss, or other hosts with the same OS?
