I am getting this error message in my rrd-data.log about every minute. I looked in the archive about this and only found one entry that did not provide much help.
Also in the trends in the network traffic graph I see an interface named "mac".
2010-02-15 08:41:35 RRD error updating /local/xymon/data/rrd/gauss.math.purdue.edu/ifstat.mac.rrd from 128.210.3.205: /local/xymon/data/rrd/gauss.math.purdue.edu/ifstat.mac.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1266241295 when last update time is 1266241295 (minimum one second step)
QUESTION:
what is the "mac" interface?
what is causing the above error and how can I prevent this?
Thanks
Robert
