Hi Max,

>I was wondering if it is possible to dump mrtg data into a database for
>warehousing, etc...

Anything is possible but it isn't all that easy today. I am currently dumping 
the values to a csv file for reference by other tools (graphical line colors 
and a topN cgi script). However the process has limitations. I go to every rrd 
file any pull the numbers out, but I have hundreds of rrd files. This is done 
every 5 minutes and I barely get away with it.

Now what we/I could really use (hello tobi) is an archive rrd. A seperate rrd 
which simply gets created every run clean and is updated with all the values 
for all the targets (aside from normal updates). Although given the job of rrd 
is to do the rollup this may not be feasible for a new rrd except for writing 
current values. Limitations would again seem inevitable but something to think 
about.

cheers,
brad...
