Switch interface is not collecting bandwidth data

Good morning,

I updated a switch configuration in Nagios XI to remove an switch port interface from monitoring, and added I switch port interface to monitor. The new interface was added successfully (status, bandwidth) using the Monitoring Wizard - Network Switch/Router Wizard.

The data collection file was not initially created, so I did a 'touch' command to create it. It does seem to be collecting any bandwidth data since I added it.

[root@trends mrtg]# pwd
/var/lib/mrtg
[root@trends mrtg]# ls -la sw29-2.vod.gsv.md.atlanticbb.net*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 24 16:35 sw29-2.vod.gsv.md.atlanticbb.net_10109.rrd

This has worked with no issues in the past.

Thank you,

Mark Frew

It would be best to remove the file and let mrtg create the appropriate file when it gets the data
