Reference

For those who definitely know what they're doing and just need a reminder of the commands:

• ssh -l dante.<surname> prod-cacti01-fra-de.geant.net

• chmod 777 to the /opt/cacti/rra/<name_of_rrd>.rrd                      <-- Richard has permissions to do this step, Ops does not!
• cd /tmp

• rrdtool dump /opt/cacti/rra/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd > /tmp/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd.xml

• vi /tmp/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd.xml
• sudo -u cactiuser mv /opt/cacti/rra/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd /opt/cacti/rra/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd.bak
• sudo -u cactiuser rrdtool restore /tmp/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd.xml  /opt/cacti/rra/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrdWe now need to sync this change with the other production instance of Cacti on prod-cacti02-vie-at.geant.net
• sudo -u cactiuser scp -i /home/cactiuser/.ssh/id_dsa /opt/cacti/rra/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd cactiuser@prodrrd cactiuser@prod-cacti02-vie-at.geant.net:/opt/cacti/rra/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd

...

Change to the /tmp directory and export the data to an XML file format.

Check that the chmod of the rrd file is set to 7777 prior to attempting to remove a spike.

rrdtool dump /opt/cacti/rra/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd > /tmp/mx1_lon_uk_traffic_in_20683.rrd.xml
