Problem is that you find by hostname which is set by dhcp, but at beginning it is set to linux. So it saves data to linux directory...if you restart collectd then it uses current name. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I guess this can be fixed in two parts:

1) making sure that we dont need to delte the old directory, by making status.rb module not use the "first" one always

2) making collectd restart if network is restarted, using /etc/sysconfig/network/if-down.d /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d/ /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts magic

Opinions?

collectd should be immune to network changes. If this cannot be fixed, I'd vote for option 2). (and network module shouldn't trigger unneeded network changes, i.e. restarting dchp while its running) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

At least collectd stores data correctly after day changing again. (Seen by Benji) So the simplest fix would be to set hardware clock to UTC to default while creating the appliance.

But I think that initial setup should set it even if time for built appliance is bad, so I think that status must expect that time should be moved in initial setup (even hardware clock is moved if it is imprecise). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
