[ZendTo] Re: rrd fixes

I’m sorry to say I think there are still problems with this. I don’t think the data is getting into the RRD (which is why the graphs are flat!). My experience was as follows:

# /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
Initial creation of RRD file (start date of 2011-09-07)
16
/usr/bin/rrdtool update /var/zendto/rrd/zendto.rrd 1315436400:1:1:2926562.0

17
/usr/bin/rrdtool update /var/zendto/rrd/zendto.rrd 1316214000:1:1:11.9

Which looks OK, although on closer inspection I think the dates may be suspect. What’s actually shown in the Outbox is:

Now an rrdtool dump (excerpt) shows:

It ends after 16/9 (because the last dropoff was on the 16th? – the time stamp on the file is “now” and the time of last update at the top is “<lastupdate>1316214000</lastupdate> <!-- 2011-09-17 00:00:00 BST -->”)

Hope this helps in further diagnosis!

To save you poor busy folks a load of patching, I might just release a new version of ZendTo tomorrow. It's the first in a month or so, and it will iron out these niggles for you.

There won't be any new preferences.php settings or database changes, though there are a few *.tpl template changes. Should be a painless upgrade (he says, cursing it forever :-)

Cheers,
Jules.

I've found and fixed the problems you've all been having with rrdInit.php and rrdUpdate.php.

Attached are new copies of
    /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php
    /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdUpdate.php
    /opt/zendto/lib/MySQL.php
    /opt/zendto/lib/SQLite.php
You will probably need to delete your RRD data file (/var/zendto/rrd/zendto.rrd by default) first, and then copy in the 4 files. Then run
    /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
    /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdUpdate.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php

The rrdInit script creates the data file if necessary and updates it with all the latest stats.
The rrdUpdate script just creates all the graphs.

Sorry it's taken me so long to work out the solution to this!

Jules
