same thing. no changes. i really have no idea what to do. your file look
like mine.
i dont know, what this "unparsable time " is.... i checked my data file
again, an everything is ok.
thanx :(. J.
one more time, my cfg file:
base_dir /usr/local/var/orca/rrd/orcallator
rrd_dir .
state_file orca.state
html_dir /usr/local/www/data/orca
expire_images 1
find_times 0:10 1:00 6:00 12:00 19:00
warn_email root at localhost
late_interval interval + 30
group orca_ping {
find_files /usr/local/var/orca/orcallator/monitoring_ping
column_description first_line
date_source column_name timestamp
date_format %s
interval 120
reopen 1
}
And this is my data file "monitoring_ping" (around 300 lines):
ping_avg timestamp
100 1006266960
109 1006267020
102 1006267081
