Hi Les, I did a bit of black magic vodoo and whoooo: http://www.opennms.org/wiki/RRD_performance_fundamentals#Tuning
Well, the vodoo was just to look into the tuning guide. This function is there since quite a while ("This page was last modified on 10 August 2009, at 13:41"). Just try it and report if it shows some significant changes in i/o. I changed this value some years ago when there wasn't much load on the system so I can't tell anything about the difference. - Michael >>> Les Mikesell <lesmikes...@gmail.com> 13.06.2011 20:05 >>> On 6/9/2011 6:05 AM, Michael Seibold wrote: > Hi Ronald, > > as I'm also always seeking for improvements in this area I am very > interested in optimization of data collection. Something that would make a huge difference for me would be to never write updates if the values have always been 0. I want to collect switch port interface data without having to manually track which ports are connected so I have 'snmpStorageFlag=all'. There are a lot of unused interface both on switches and hosts so this makes for a lot of wasted effort updating meaningless and predictable data - and this probably isn't an uncommon scenario. If there were some clever way to deduce the 'always zero' status from the directory/inode properties, the whole read/write cycle could be skipped until a non-zero value is collected. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
