Custom 60 second interval test still has 5 min interval graph
list Scot Kreienkamp
Hey everyone,
I created a custom test and RRD definition because I wanted to reduce the interval time on a few graphs from 5 minute resolution to 1 minute. I got the data to be logged once every minute, which I verified is hitting the RRD. The problem is that when I view the graph it's still got a resolution of 5 minutes.
Here's the partial RRDTool dump:

So the data is getting logged every 60 seconds. It's also rolling up to the 5 second, etc, values.
Here's the line from xymonserver.cfg:
SPLITNCV_cpustat="*:GAUGE:180:0:100" #Configure for 60 second intervals, range of 0-100
Here's the lines from rrddefinitions.cfg:

Here's the graph definition:

I had read that RRDTool should use the lowest resolution available, which is 1 minute for this RRD. So why are the graphs not going less than 5 minute intervals when zooming in? Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is correct. The data format for a "round robin database" is fixed at creation time for a certain number of data points at a certain interval, using a certain method for combining them (typically 'AVERAGE' by default). When you're increasing the number of data points you're submitting, you're putting more data in, but you're still only going to see 5 minute average "chunks" (and the larger ones). To actually increase the resolution you're saving at, you'll want to use (I believe) the 'rrdtune' command. Alternatively, some find it easier to export/re-import the data into a new file. HTH, -jc

Hi JC, Maybe I missed it when it's staring me in the face, but I still don't understand why it's not showing the 1 minute resolution when it is saving it into the RRD. The resulting RRD from the configuration I posted has a 60 second step, a 180 second heartbeat, and the data is being stored every 60 seconds, all of that verified by rrdtool dump. So I have successfully increased the resolution of the RRD; but even though it's stored every minute the resulting graph only registers changes in values every 5 minutes.

Scot I /think/ the RRD side of things is correct, so it must be the graphing that's the problem. Where are you viewing the graph? On the "stats" page? If so, have you tried reducing the trends period to (say) 30 minutes? J On 1 July 2015 at 09:49, Scot Kreienkamp <user-9678697f1438@xymon.invalid>

The data format for a "round robin database" is fixed at creation time for a certain number of data points at a certain interval, using a certain method for combining them (typically 'AVERAGE' by default). When you're increasing the number of data points you're submitting, you're putting more data in, but you're still only going to see 5 minute average "chunks" (and the larger ones). To actually increase the resolution you're saving at, you'll want to use (I believe) the 'rrdtune' command. Alternatively, some find it easier to export/re-import the data into a new file.

Hi Jeremy, I’m viewing the graph on the custom test page. The data is being reported in via data message if that makes a difference. Not sure what you mean by reducing the trends period?

I /think/ the RRD side of things is correct, so it must be the graphing that's the problem.
Where are you viewing the graph? On the "stats" page? If so, have you tried reducing the trends period to (say) 30 minutes?

Hi JC,
Maybe I missed it when it's staring me in the face, but I still don't understand why it's not showing the 1 minute resolution when it is saving it into the RRD. The resulting RRD from the configuration I posted has a 60 second step, a 180 second heartbeat, and the data is being stored every 60 seconds, all of that verified by rrdtool dump. So I have successfully increased the resolution of the RRD; but even though it's stored every minute the resulting graph only registers changes in values every 5 minutes.

OK. What I'm thinking as that the graph shown on a test page is always for
a specific time period (I think 24 hours), and rrdgraph chooses an
appropriate granularity for that time period. If it were showing a "year"
graph, it would choose weekly samples to graph. If showing a "month"
graph, then it'll choose hourly samples. It's not until it's asked to show
a graph of perhaps less than 24 hours that it will show samples shorter
than 5 minutes. I don't know the exact thresholds, but I think the
principle applies.
Not sure what you mean by reducing the trends period?
Does your graph show on the trends page for the server? On the trends
page, up the top is a form that lets you adjust the time period for the
graphs on that page. If you changed the default 2-day graph period to
something like 12 hours, you might start to see finer resolution.
Another option is to click on the magnifying glass next to the graph in the
test page, then drag to zoom in on the most recent 8 hours, and see if you
get 1-minute samples showing.
Cheers
