[ZendTo] Re: rrdInit.php error

Yes, correct I didn't have any drop-offs in-between. I created upload
today so we should see if it repeats itself. Also, if there no uploads
its value should change so it updates graphs (rrd database) properly.

I am using version 3.53 with a lot of patches, so I am not sure where I
stand version-wise. I will update to the latest one tonight.

Here's my crontab:

# Zendto service scripts

5 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /home/zendto/sbin/cleanup.php
/home/zendto/config/preferences.php &> /dev/null

10 2 * * *  /usr/bin/php /home/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php
/home/zendto/config/preferences.php

15 2 * * * /usr/bin/php /home/zendto/sbin/rrdUpdate.php
/home/zendto/config/preferences.php

Btw, my crontab format is:

# m h  dom mon dow   command

I was observing this thing for 3 days and got the following:

*************Day 1

Initial creation of RRD file (start date of 2010-07-13)

1

/usr/bin/rrdtool update /home/zendto/data/rrd/dropbox.rrd
1279080000:1:1:32.0

*************Day 2

1

/usr/bin/rrdtool update /home/zendto/data/rrd/dropbox.rrd
1279080000:1:1:32.0

ERROR: /home/zendto/data/rrd/dropbox.rrd: illegal attempt to update
using time 1279080000 when last update time is 1279080000 (minimum one
second step)

*************Day 3

1

/usr/bin/rrdtool update /home/zendto/data/rrd/dropbox.rrd
1279080000:1:1:32.0

ERROR: /home/zendto/data/rrd/dropbox.rrd: illegal attempt to update

second step)

Value of 1279080000 always stays the same. How is it generated in
rrdInit.php?

It is calculated from the dates of dropoffs in your database. So it's
quite possible it might produce that value. Do you have more dropoffs
going into your system every day?

Jules.

You need to change the cron jobs a little, to ensure there is a couple
of minutes delay between the rrdInit and the rrdUpdate. This will show
you what you need: (I have fixed this in a more recent version)

5 0 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/cleanup.php
/opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
2 10 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php
/opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
2 12 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdUpdate.php
/opt/zendto/config/preferences.php

Let me know if this fixes it for you (or not!).

Jules.

Hi Everyone,

To begin; I've been following development of ZendTo for sometime. We
actually have this product in production working with 3 AD domains.

I've been getting email reports of my cron jobs for ZendTo and the
following error message keeps appearing:

/usr/bin/php /home/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php
/home/zendto/config/preferences.php

Output:

1

/usr/bin/rrdtool update /home/zendto/data/rrd/dropbox.rrd
1279080000:1:1:32.0

ERROR: /home/zendto/data/rrd/dropbox.rrd: illegal attempt to update
using time 1279080000 when last update time is 1279080000 (minimum one
second step)

>From what I understand there's something wrong with rrdInit.php. That
happens whenever script attempts to update an RRD file using a timestamp
that was already used previously.

Please advice,
