Intervals and graphs 🔗 link

Hello,

         I'm running a Hobbit server and have one other client connecting to it.  All are running Linux.  So far I've been pleased with it except for one issue.

         I changed the interval from 5m to 15m for several settings (bbcombotest, bbnet, hobbitclient) in the "hobbitlaunch.cfg" config file (on both the server & client), restarted the Hobbit server and client and then noticed that it stopped graphing.  It would still update the current status board, etc. but it stopped adding to the graphs.

         I let it go like this for a few days and then recently set the intervals back to 5m, restarted the server and client and then it started adding to the graphs again.  Is this normal?  Shouldn't I be able to run the tests every 15 minutes instead of every 5 and still get graphs?  Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Doug,

The RRD definitions have a "valid time" -- default is 600 seconds, or 10
minutes.  So if your values are not updated within 10 minutes they are
considered invalid.  Problem is that you may have to fiddle in the
source to change these default settings to accommodate non-standard
polling intervals...
