[xymon] rrd change

[Vernon Everett]

Hmmm. That's interesting.

So, nothing is getting to the rrd file for the rrd graphing module to read.

Have you checked that the values are being sent through correctly?
By this, I mean, when it exceeds 100%, is your script still sending data
correctly?
Do you have some code somewhere in your script that sends non-numeric output
at 100 or over?
Think in terms of what changes at 100 or above? You have moved from 2
characters to 3.
Also, has the input to your script changes in some subtle way at 100%, which
will change the output.
Remember, for NCV to work, the output has to be
fieldname : value
on a line on their own.
Any garbage will break it. Check especially for non-printable characters and
control codes.
Dump your output to a file, and use cat -v

Cheers
