All Graphs Stopped updating Oct/Nov 2021

All of my network graphing stopped around the end of October / early November.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened except updates.

No interfaces found in database, adding available interfaces...
Interface "blue0" added with 1000 Mbit bandwidth limit.
Interface "red0" added with 1000 Mbit bandwidth limit.
Interface "green0" added with 1000 Mbit bandwidth limit.
Interface "eth1" added with 1000 Mbit bandwidth limit.

-> 5 new interfaces found.
Limits can be modified using the configuration file. See "man vnstat.conf".
Unwanted interfaces can be removed from monitoring with "vnstat --remove".                                                   [  OK  ]

I used this method and now graphs are back.
thanks

Hi,

um, well, glad you solved this yourselves, but it would have been even better if this had not occurred in the first place. :slight_smile:

Your given procedure reminds me of that one needed after an architecture change, but you said there wasn’t anything happening like that. Did you perhaps replace a NIC?

Either way, if this happens again and you are able to trace it down, please do not hesitate to file a bug at https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/ (your login credentials work there as well) so we can fix it.

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller

Hi, No NIC change or anything HW related. I did remove ClamAV, but nothing else.
Thanks

Hi,

thanks for reporting back.

This is weird - do you happen to have logs from the timeframe where the graphs stopped working? If so, is there anything in them that sticks out on the first glance?

Thanks, and best regards,

Hi,

I have 5 messages.gz files that cover the period of when graphs stopped,

What should I be on the lookout for? Keywords?

Let me know.

Thank you,

David Campbell
