<DIV></DIV>I am now completely convinced that the strange behavior of the
graphs is due to some bad data getting inserted into the .rrd database
files. The bad data is always the same value: 5.1776682516e+170.
That's what the value looks like when you do an rrddump on the .rrd database
file. <BR><BR>I still have no idea where this value is coming from, but I have
at least determined how to fix these graphs. I'm working on a script to
do this, but for now, I manually do an rrddump of the file, change all bogus
values to NaN (basically, searching for "e+1", since none of the values I
trend generally get that large, so I know these entries are just averaged
values of correct data and the 5.17... number), and then do an rrdrestore from
the modified xml file.<BR><BR>It would be nice to determine where this problem
is coming from, though.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
