After an unexpected power cycle, prtg has stopped graphing. the tables are updating but not the graphs. How do I repair this. How to do a cache recalculation?

No Data Displayed in PRTG Live Graph
Please reset (delete) the graph cache so PRTG can rebuild it.
Option 1: Automatically
In current PRTG versions, you can recalculate the graph cache directly from the PRTG web interface. In previous version, use one of the other options.
- Open the PRTG web interface.
- Select Setup | System Administration | Administrative Tools from the main menu bar.
- Navigate to section Recalculate PRTG Graph Data Cache.
- Click on the Go! button to start the recalculation.
Note: This will trigger a restart of your PRTG core server.
In previous PRTG versions as of PRTG 12, you find the graph recalculation option in the PRTG Server Administrator tool.
Option 2: Manually
- Stop both PRTG services (core and probe).
- Navigate to your data folder (You can look it up in the PRTG Administration Tool on the Core Server tab. See this article for detailed information.)
- Delete the PRTG Graph Data Cache.dat file
- Restart the PRTG services
After Cache Reset
- Log in to the PRTG web interface
- Go to Setup | PRTG Status | System Status and check the background tasks. It should state that it is calculating historic data.
Then,
- Refresh the page from time to time (is the number being reduced?)
- Let it run until it is done and then check if your graph is available.
- Note: System performance may be a affected while recalculation is running

did you already try to restart the server?

dear paessler,
I am also facing the same issue.
My live graph is not rendering and some of the sensors are not working.
please help
Dear Brun
Did you already try to delete the Graph Data cache? "Option 2: Manually" is the best way to enforce a Graph Data cache recalculation. Once the previous cache has been deleted, it can take some hours to rebuild a new cache.
