First off, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or if I should send this question to the developer's forum...let me know.
Here's the low down: I've created a script that goes and takes a look on all of my Cable Routers and counts how many cable modems are registered. In turn, that same script takes those numbers and inputs them into an RRD database from which it grapha using RRDtool's graphing function. The purpose of this script is to store the data into a database and create a graphical representation of that data. Also, I create reports from the RRDs for my traffic bearing interfaces as well as these modem couting databases. That is why I wanted an RRD database for them. My problem is creating the initial database that will allow me to poll the way I want. I am just not sure exactly what the best way to set up the database is. Here is what I have to create the database so far: $rrdtool create /opt/mrtg/var/$ubrs/$g\.$i.rrd --start $startime DS:number:GAUGE:900:0:500 RRA:MAX:0.25:1:500 I think I have the DS info pretty well the way I want it. The heart beat is set at 900 seconds (15 minutes) and that is how long I have between polling. Zero is my minumum and 500 is my Maximum but that will change to a "U" for unknown. I think my main difficulty is the RRA. I would like it to show the MAX, that is all that matters since I'm just counting them up and putting that number into the database. All of the numbers input are MAXes and no averages are needed. Then there is 0.25 for every quarter hour, I'm not sure what I should put for the "Steps" or what I should have for the "Rows". I want to be able to create a weekly, monthly and a yearly graph from these RRAs. Thanks for any assistance. J.
