No clue what you mean by 'holes'.

However, there are some tricks w/ rrd as it rolls data up into coarser rings
WRT missing observations.  I've posted on that, and there's stuff in the
SourceForge article and docs/FAQ.  Finally, man rrdcreate, esp the xff stuff
- and there's more on that on the RRD mailing lists.

Subject: [Ntop] Holes in rrd graphs

Hi,
using ntop 3.0 on debian sarge together with PF_RING3 and NAPI (e1000) with
Kernel 2.6.
ntop is running great,
With the exception that rrd  graphs have some holes, depending on the
hardware (P4 3.2G or Xeon, 2GByte RAM) and depending on the monitored
traffic.
Snort/barnyard  is also running on the same hardware

I think, that I have a problem with the disk I/O. Output of vmstat and
iostat see below.

To try to fix the problem
- I did use option -m for local network.
- The rrds are updated only every 15min instead 5min.
- I also used a filter in the rrd settings for the local network.
This helped for some probes, but not for all.

Has anybody further suggestions how to tune ntop with rrd?

Some suggestion how to find the bottleneck?

Many thanks, Roger
