rrd- data can't be created 🔗 link

Hello,

I've installed hobbit 4.1.2 on debian alpha port.

I could compile the sources without any problem.
I also can see the current states of my computers,
but the diagramms are not working.

Therefore if had a look into the rrd- logs and
foun an error message.

2006-08-08 10:47:41 RRD error creating 
/usr/local/hobbit/data/rrd/wva-svalpha2/netstat.rrd: min must be less than 
max in DS definition

The error is dislayed for every DS configured on the server.

Any suggestion?

4.1.2 is a bit old; you should at least upgrade to 4.1.2p2 since there
are a couple of security related bugs in the original 4.1.2.

It doesn't affect the problem you have, though. Is this Debian 3.1
(Sarge) ?

That's a new one. What rrdtool version do you have ? "rrdtool --version"

Could you try adding the "--debug" option to the hobbitd_rrd commandline
in the ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg ? It will then print out the
exact parameters it uses for creating the RRD files, like this:

2006-08-08 13:21:02 RRD create param 21: 'RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:576'

You could then try running the command by hand (just a few of the DS
lines are needed). E.g.

rrdtool create testfile.rrd \
   'DS:udpInDatagrams:DERIVE:600:0:U' \
   'RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:576'

and see if it gives the same error.

Ok I can try.

Yes exact. My machine is alphaserver 4100 (rawhide).

I have version rrdtool-1.2.10.
I wanted to upgrade to version rrdtool-1.2.15, but there is another 
problem
compiling it.

I still work on that.

Yes I did. And I run that command:

./rrdtool create /tmp/tcp.orarns.tcp 'DS:sec:GAUGE:600:0:U' 
'RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:576'
ERROR: min must be less than max in DS definition

having the same problem.

Hobbit and rrd were runnung month's before without any problem.

I changed the kernel from 2.4.X to 2.6.8 and installed some
security patches.
I don't know exactly when, but somewhere after rdd stopped running.

Debian Sarge ships with RRDtool 1.0.49. Have you tried using that
version instead ?


Regards,

./rrdtool create /tmp/tcp.orarns.tcp 'DS:sec:GAUGE:600:0:U' 'RRA:

No.

But may be my libpng is upgraded.
I startet using hobbit, rrd with libpng-1.2.8.

Is it possible that this is causing the error?
What version of libpng you are using?

I doubt it. But this really isn't a Hobbit issue, so I think you should raise it with the rrdtool folks. 

What version of libpng you are using?

1.2.8.
