You must be doing something wrong. A RRD should never grow bigger then 93K. It's 93 when you start and it should stay 93K during time.

I knwo that we can tune up the RRD, so that we can store as much data as we like. However, the rrd size for just storing 5-min data for two days is about 170kb!!! It seems that to store 1 yr 5-min data, the file size must be 31 MB!! Let say, if I have one rrd per router interface, and if I got 1000 interfaces to monitor, I must prepare 31GB for just data storage?!!!!! It seems a huge capacity for a PC/Server!!!! It also takes a very long time to retrieve data for one particular date!!!!! (That's why we need to store 5-min data for a yr) We are now doing sth that archive all rrd every midnite and write a script for data retrieval. When we comes up a situation that need to reference the past data, we use that script to retrieve the archived rrd of that date. It seems to work for somehow, but what if I need to retrieved data for a particular week??? It seems that we need another way to handle it...... Any suggests? ^_^ Thanks Francis -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
