Hi,

the problem with the RRD updating error, that I and several other people are having, doesn't seem to be resolved. My larrd-data.log is filling up with the following messages:

2005-11-21 11:59:54 RRD error updating /data1/hobbit/data/rrd/<hobbit.client.ip>/memory.swap.rrd from 123.45.67.89: illegal attempt to update using time 1132570794 when last update time is 1132570794 (minimum one second step)

Now I waded through the hobbit source code and found out that both
the do_la.c and the do_memory.c call the function do_memory_rrd_update.
So if the first update occurs, everything is fine, but when the second update occurs, the rrd must complain about the same update time.
Is this causing the error?

Regards,
Dirk

I have had this problem in the past.  Make sure the time for both servers
are in sync.  Usually this occurs when the hobbit server shows a time that
is behind the reporting client.

HTH,

No. The message occurs for *ALL* of my clients for all memory.*.rrd 
files every 5 minutes. So this can't be a matter of the system time.
BTW, all of our servers are synchronized using NTP.
