All of the times in RRDtool are UTC based. All of the intervals in RRDtool are a whole number of seconds times a whole number of intervals. The start of time as far as RRDtool is concerned is januari 1st 1970, UTC. There is no way you can "manipulate the EPOCH". What you could do is change the time zone on your computer to match UTC and forget about local time although I don't think this is a good solution for you. When daylight saving is applied (I assume PDT is exactly that) then time is "moved to the east" by (usually) one hour. > Does anyone know how to fix this? If so, may I ask for help? Thanks. What you're trying to do is find a way to make n*24h-16h match m*24h. This cannot work if both n and m need to be whole numbers. You could however match n*1h-16h to m*1h. In other words: do not use intervals of 24 hours. Use intervals of 1 hour. The RRA you create should have a step size of 3600 seconds. This can be 1*3600 (so: --step 3600 and RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:8784) or 12*300 (so: --step 300 and RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:8784) or whatever other combination. When you query this RRA and ask for midnight local time, you will get the desired information. -- __________________________________________________________________ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.
