Ok, looks good. How long does poller-wrapper take to execute? Are you close to 300s polling time? If polling is not finished efter 300s and a new one starts that will create white spaces in the graphs

It looks to me like there is another process that is causing your observium server to get tied up.
From the graph you posted, the issue occurs at the following times
14:25 16:30 18:35 20:25 22:30 02:40
Do you have other cron jobs scheduled to run? Does your server do any other processing (other than Observium)?
You also seem to be running poller.php and poller-wrapper in your contrab. This will almost certainly cause issues like this (just use the wrapper).

Michael

Oh, I totaly missed that! Yes, Michel is right. You should delete the line with poller.php and only run poller-wrapper as it itself will run poller.php

Thanks for your advice.
Yes, there is rancid polling was configured in crontab. I have changed rancid cronjob polling. Now added below two lines.
5 * * * * root /opt/observium/discovery.php -h new >> /dev/null 2>&1
5 * * * * root /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py 10 >> /dev/null 2>&1
However, still I am observing few white space for few devices. On some devices it is continuous. Please suggest. Below graphs for two different devices.

Yeah, these gaps seem to be every 2 hours. I suspect this isn't a coincidence :)
