Hi,
After a considerable amount of time & futzing, I have a working SiLK + FlowViewer install running on Ubuntu Server v14.04.2. Everything's working pretty well, except for one thing - FlowMonitor graphs.
I go and create a new FlowMonitor, that works fine and the graphs are created/rendered and look fine. Except that there's no data in them, all values are 0 and nothing is being graphed.
For the same exact Filter (very simple Filter -- basically just the SiLK sensor name), the FlowViewer & FlowGrapher both work perfectly and show the proper data. Graphs look great, I can see all the flows, and so on.
But for some reason the FlowMonitor graphs are empty. Any ideas??
Thanks!
Tim

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the reply! Here's the output of DEBUG_MONITOR_C, looks like it's doing something but not sure what this is supposed to look like when working.
I see now that there's something wrong with the "pass" argument in the rwfilter command, eg, one says "--pass=/var/www/cgi-bin/FlowViewer/Flow_Working/FlowMonitor_Prefiltered_Site_alltstevens-lab-gwy", which does not exist. It looks like a munged version of some static text and the monitor name.
I also see in the working directory that there are some folders there with old monitor names that I created in the process of getting things working and later deleted. Not sure if there's some way to easily 'clean the slate' here. I am fine to delete files/remove monitors, nothing's too difficult to set back up the way I want it.
Let me know your thoughts...
Thanks,
Tim

I'd be happy to help you. You are getting empty Flow_Monitor output, right? Can you provide the DEBUG_MONITOR_C (captures the data points) and DEBUG_MONITOR_G output (prints the graph)?
Thanks,
Joe

thanks for the care!
After some more reading I found that there is kind of bug and I need to make some filter and then monitor will start showig graph.
Best regards,
Ricardas

Hi Tim,
Let's see if FlowMonitor_Collector is getting a value; and then see what the rrdtool commands are doing with it.
Can you see what $work_directory/DEBUG_MONITOR_C is telling you?
Thanks,
Joe
Hi Joe -
Thanks for your reply! Here's the output of DEBUG_MONITOR_C. It seems to be doing "something" but not sure what it 'should' look like...
Thanks,

OK good, Ricardas. If you see something where the software should be improved (e.g., a warning message, fix, etc.) please let me know.
Best,
