All of a sudden, users.rrd, procs.rrd, la.rrd and clock.rrd have stopped updating. Actually, it happened on Friday, but I still haven't found the cause.
I had the exact same problem on SCO servers a few weeks ago (24th of december, around 6am).
On our setup, the problem comes from a counter overflow in uptime handling on some SCO : after 248 days of uptime, the uptime is reported negative, and the rrd handler misses the expression (no "up:").
Reboot of the system solves the problem :).
I don't have the luxury of rebooting, so I threw a quick pipe to awk that checks for the number of uptime fields... and adds the 999 for the 'days up' field, if that field is missing. I can paste the exact awk command if desired.
