Solution


Tip

To automate those steps, you can get a script from Checkmk Support.


  1. Change to the rrd RRD directory.

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[mysite]:~$ cd var/check_mk/rrd/<HOSTNAME>


  2. How many metrics are stored in the .info file?

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[mysite]:~/var/check_mk/rrd/myhost.txt$ cat Interface_2.info 
    HOST myhost
    SERVICE Interface eth0
    METRICS outqlen;in;out;inerr;inmcast;inbcast;inucast;innucast;indisc;outerr;outmcast;outbcast;outucast;outnucast;outdis

    15 Metrics are stored here

  3. How many datasources do we have in the .rrd RRD file?

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[mysite]:~/var/check_mk/rrd/kirchner_check_mk_agent_output.txt$ rrdtool info Interface_2.rrd |grep "last_ds"
    ds[1].last_ds = "U"
    ds[2].last_ds = "U"
    ds[3].last_ds = "U"
    ds[4].last_ds = "0"
    ds[7].last_ds = "U"
    ds[8].last_ds = "U"
    ds[9].last_ds = "U"
    ds[10].last_ds = "U"
    ds[13].last_ds = "U"
    ds[14].last_ds = "U"
    ds[15].last_ds = "U"


    Note
    11 Datasources are stored. As described in the cmc.log, DS 5,6,11, and 12 are missing.



  4. So here we have a mismatch of the number of metrics in the .info (15 Metrics ) file and the amount of Datasources (11 DS) in the .rrd file.

  5. We need to create the missing DS into the rrd RRD file. 



    Warning

    Before continuing here, please note that we do not provide support for any broken .rrd file. Please be careful and do a backup of that those files beforehand. 


    • Stop the site

      Code Block
      languagebash
      themeRDark
      OMD[mysite]:~$ omd stop


    • Create the four missing datasources

      Code Block
      languagebash
      themeRDark
      OMD[mysite]:~$ rrdtool tune Interface_2.rrd DS:5:GAUGE:8460:0:U 
      OMD[mysite]:~$ rrdtool tune Interface_2.rrd DS:6:GAUGE:8460:0:U 
      OMD[mysite]:~$ rrdtool tune Interface_2.rrd DS:11:GAUGE:8460:0:U 
      OMD[mysite]:~$ rrdtool tune Interface_2.rrd DS:12:GAUGE:8460:0:U

      More information about the command can be found here: https://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdtune.en.html.
