[Xymon] Connecting the "history" file dots...

[Mills, David (IS)]

Hi, All!

In poking around my data directory, I see a listing like this for the "cpu" test data for one of my hosts:

      $  ls -rt /export/xymon/data/histlogs/pwmu002/cpu/
      total 61
      drwxr-xr-x  22 hobbit   monitor       22 Dec 30  2010 ../
      -rw-r--r--   1 hobbit   monitor     1.9K Feb 17  2012 Fri_Feb_17_00:30:59_2012

Each of these files is some sort of snapshot of the data displayed when you click on the "cpu" icon for the indicated host in Xymon.

Why then, is the most recent data file a couple weeks old but the data displayed for the "cpu" icon is current on the screen?

Thanks!
