You could do that, but you'll lose access to stuff in the XML data like the REPORTED attribute. (Hm, could you check the modification time on the rrd file instead? Or do the rrds get updated whether or not the host has reported recently? I don't know.) Additionally, I don't really fancy anything that places even more I/O load on the filesystem containing the rrds. -- Leif Nixon Systems expert ------------------------------------------------------------ National Supercomputer Centre Linkoping University ------------------------------------------------------------
