AT> This guy has the exact same error: AT> AT> https://lists.oetiker.ch/pipermail/smokeping-users/2011-June/004338.html AT> The only way for me to fix this, is to remove the RRD file, reload smokeping, AT> add a new target, reload smokeping again, then pull up the new target in my AT> browser, and force a refresh. This seems to force an update on all the RRD AT> files, and fixes everything, but then I've lost my historical data. AT> How can I change the "pings = 20" to "pings = 5" in my configs, in a clean way? AT> Thanks, There isn't any way, other than restructuring the RRD. I've heard there are some tools that will help port data from one RRD to another with different row setups - but doing so is a fairly complicated process. IMO, the value of keeping the old RRD's around is usually not enough to justify reworking the data. But everyone's needs and wants are different - so suit yourself. But you either have to modify the RRD's and port the data, or delete the old RRD's and let SP create new RRD's with the new row paramaters. [On a side note - how much data does 20 pings produce, vs 5? IMO, the additional load is rather small, and might not be worth messing with - which would solve your historical data problem too.] -Greg _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list smokeping-users@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
