rrd: found extra data on update argument:

[padu_3891]

For my hosts the ping graph is not populating (getting empty graph) and In npcd.log and getting lot error message as
"rrd: found extra data on update argument: "

Surfed in net and found the change in number of DS for rrd differs .

But it runs perfect with another nagios server with same scenario .

only diff between two servers version of pnp . Server in working condition has 0.6.21 and the server whic is not working has 0.6.13

Please let me know how to deal with this

Can you update the non-working server to pnp 0.6.21?

[padu_3891]

updated to Program: pnp4nagios-0.6.21 .

But no good news

error messages at perfdata.log as follows .. lot of such error messages

The script adjusts the rrd's to have the correct amount of datasources based on what is in the XML files

[padu_3891]

Thats really a great help .

It is fixing the issue .

It would be great if i can find the reason for this . same configuration same nagios version working fine with automatic adjustment of number of DS in rrd .

Different versions of plugins can return different quantity of datasources of perfdata. This is what caused the problem that made us create that script.. A new check_ping had additional DS as of a certain version when they added rtamin and rtamax
