On a related note, I see lots (sometimes dozens, depending on the client) of RRD files with names “ifstat.#.#.#.#.rrd”, where the ‘#’ are numbers, like this sampling:
-rw-r----- 1 xymon xymon 423K Mar 6 20:07 ifstat.47.147.0.12.rrd
-rw-r----- 1 xymon xymon 423K Mar 6 20:12 ifstat.108.0.121.0.rrd
-rw-r----- 1 xymon xymon 423K Mar 7 02:53 ifstat.73.68.58.9.rrd
-rw-r----- 1 xymon xymon 423K Mar 7 09:23 ifstat.0.1.0.128.rrd
-rw-r----- 1 xymon xymon 423K Mar 7 09:23 ifstat.0.116.111.32.rrd
-rw-r----- 1 xymon xymon 423K Mar 7 09:23 ifstat.101.115.115.32.rrd
Looks like the filenames are generated from information sent by the xymon client running on the host. I see files with interface names on my Xymon server. These are from a client running on a SPARC Solaris system:
rrd/sahara/ifstat.bge1.rrd rrd/sahara/ifstat.bge3.rrd rrd/sahara/ifstat.bge2.rrd rrd/sahara/ifstat.bge0.rrd
I'm running 4.3.23, RPM package built from source. These ifstat files are 38K in size.
I would have guessed that the numbers were IP addresses, but you've got two of them in that list starting with zero, and one ending with zero, so if those are IP addresses, there may be an invalid address configured somewhere. And if they're not IP addresses, then I have no idea what they are, and you may need to look into the client running on the host.
