Performance graph question

Post by LM-PP1 »

I was working on repairing performance graphs based of all the previous solutions provided. I did notice an issue with multiple ones not updating.

Does it matter how long between checks before the performance graphs do not work?

We have checks that run once every 6 hours and the graphs do not update while others still say "No data displayed". We have other systems that have the same checks being done but they run once every 60 minutes and they do have graphs and no problems.

What is the appropriate amount of time to keep generating data points on the graph while maximizing time in between checks?

Thanks,

Did you wait for multiple checks to come in on the 6 hour check?

If you expand the time period in the graphs to higher values does it show then?

Please send me the RRD and XML file for this service from /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/THEHOSTNAME.

Right now everything seems to be reporting when I changed everything to check once every 2 hours. I will try to push all the times back to I get to once every 6 hours. that should be completed next week. I will let you know.

When i bumped the checks up from 2 hours to 3 hours. The services failed to plot a point on the performance graphs. I waited an additional hour after the check to complete and still saw no data added to the graph. The services do show do show performance data in the advanced tab. I will create service to be able to send you data on a 3 hour check.

I think this is what's occurring but I'm not really sure just yet:

I have this labbed up now too with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hour check_intervals, I will check it in the morning.

I am using nagios 5.6.14. I created 5 checks for 3 different directories. All new checks. The intervals were 2/3/4/5/6 hours. All 2 hour checks produced graph data. None of the 3 hour checks did not produced graph data. 4,5, and 6 hour checks did not produced graph data. I will add the .rrd files and .xml files after another round of 6 hour check complete.

I experienced the same thing, I'm thinking we may need to add/adjust the values in here:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/rra.cfg
But don't make any changes yet as they impact all new RRDs created going forward.

Sounds good. I figured that is what is happening. I was making sure this was not going to get closed.
