[Orca-users] Re: nan errors

[Blair Zajac]

If the interval in the config file is shorter than the real time data,
then some percentage of the measurements in the RRD file will
be NAN, since there is no measurement to fill that time interval.

Always keep the two intervals the same.

If you still have the old data saved, you can delete the old RRD
files, set the interval correctly, and restart orca.
