Version 2011R3.3 on RHEL6_x64
Performance graphs are not displaying any data. The graphs did work at one point however have stopped (not sure when).
I Tried this from the help page
./check_rrdtraf -f '/var/lib/mrtg/192.168.6.1_1.rrd' -w 1 -c 2 and recieve permission denied as root, checked permissions and thet are root:root rw/r/r added execute for root and reran command, this time I recieved /var/lib/mrtg/192.168.6.1_1.rrd does not exist.
system status shows Performance Grapheer running
Not sure how to troubleshoot this

Do you have this file?
Code: Select all
ll /var/lib/mrtg | grep 192.168.6.1_1.rrd
See what do you have in this directory:
then run the previous command against another file, that is in this folder.

The only thing in the /var/lib/mrtg directory is mrtg.ok

Run the following command and see if it is going to show any output (if everything is OK, it shouldn't):
Code: Select all
LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg -check
It seems you will have to rerun the wizard in order to create these rrd files. Please, read the following document to learn what is the proper way of doing it.

Can you PM us the "/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg" (or e-mail it at
[email protected]) so we can take a look at it?

You have only the top portion of your mrtg.cfg file (no traces of previous device configurations). I believe, you need to run:
Code: Select all
rm /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/mrtgscan* -f
in order to delete every single file in the nagiosxi/tmp directory that starts with mrtgscan.
Remove the host via the Core Config Manager (remove all of its services first) then re-run the wizard.
Hope this helps.

Can you explain this a bit more please;
Remove the host via the Core Config Manager (remove all of its services first) then re-run the wizard.

Before you rerun the wizard against the host under question (the one with broken perf graphs), you need to remove the "old" host and its services. In Nagios XI you remove hosts via the Core Config Manager. Please, review our documentation on the topic here (deleting hosts section):

Let me know if you have any more questions.
