[hobbit] Re: Help - NCV graph issue
Hi all,
I have yet a different problem with an NCV graph.
I have a script which monitors are UPS. In the script it captures the current load. I have set-up the hobbitserver.cfg file and hobbitgraph.cfg files based on the examples and it is storing the data and producing the graph, but the numbers don't match. When I do an rrdtool dump I see the current data point is ok (like 29% and I see that 29 is the current datapoint). When it graphs it, it shows it as 8. I have tried playing with the data types and that doesn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks ahead of time, Bruce

Wow. YET AGAIN I send an email to the list with a problem, and figure it out immediately afterwards. The issue was using the wrong def name in the GPRINT. I know it looks like I'm a total idiot - I swear I looked at that section of hobbitgraph.cfg at least a dozen times and didn't notice it. Ught. Thank goodness it's Friday.

RRD expects the data at rigidly specified intervals. Any datum entered slightly off the expected interval is "extrapolated" to fit the correct interval. If you manage to get it *really* close to the correct time, then it goes in almost untouched. I'm guessing you could be hitting somewhere in the middle of the interval, for it to be so wildly out
Or I'm completely wrong... :) It's worth looking into, though, because the extrapolation does happen.
