Troubles with graphs randomly flatlining

Post by NagioMon2021 »

(IP addresses are just placeholders)
Any thoughts on what the issues are for this?
Flatline graphs have recently started and narrowing it down is getting complicated
NagiosVM CPU usage is constantly at 35% according to vCenter out of 8 cores available to it

Searching for flatlines brings up these discussions which has revealed some troubles below:

[root@nagios]# LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg
Usage: mrtg <config-file>
mrtg-2.17.4 - Multi Router Traffic grapher

LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

Lots of this

Then it has these lines:
