[Xymon] Big RRD files causing problems

[Mills,David (HHSC Contractor)]

Hi!

Since upgrading to a new Xymon (  4.3.28-1.el6.terabithia<http://xymon.sourceforge.net/> / Linux from 4.3.3 on Solaris ) , my RRD file storage consumption is *much* greater than on the old server. It's gotten so I have to manually groom the RRD files every 48 hours or they overflow the file system. Here are some stats:

NOTE: Same set of hosts with same tests on both the old server (4.3.3 / Solaris) and the Terabithia distro for RHEL 6:

Picking out the current biggest offender (the list varies but tracks pretty much along the lines of the largest hosts with the most data to send):

                                     NEW Server        OLD Server
Total space consumed for .../rrd       90GB               14GB
# of files beneath .../rrd/pwow706/    1,916               25,815
Avg file size (eyeballing it)        423K               38K

Any ideas?

Where can I read up on what RRD files Xymon puts into the RRD directory?
Thx!

;-)
