Tobi, et.al.: Thank you for the reply. I have adjusted thusly. Can you see if I have the concept better now?
rrdtool create modem1.rrd / --step 60 / --start 1016896020 / DS:Total:GAUGE:120:0:200 / RRA:MAX:0.5:5:600 Is this right? I think I have: - An rrd expecting input every 60 seconds started at 1016896020 - With a data source of type "gauge", that expects values from min 0 max 200 - an rr archive that stores a sample of the input data above - and that sample is a consolidation of 5 inputs (using MAX as consolidation type) - since it is for five inputs the sample will represent the MAX value over that 5 minute period - the rra will keep 600 of these stored samples. - Since the sample is over 5 minutes (5*60) and I store 600 samples, I will be storing data for a period of 3000 minutes (5 * 600) ~= 2.08 days. Does it sound like my understanding is correct now? I did log all my rdd update commands and re-ran them. Now I'm getting data with fetch: rrdtool fetch modem1.rrd MAX 1016895900: nan 1016896200: 9.1000000000e+01 1016896500: 9.4000000000e+01 1016896800: 9.4000000000e+01 1016897100: 9.3000000000e+01 1016897400: 9.3000000000e+01 1016897700: 9.3000000000e+01 1016898000: 9.0000000000e+01 1016898300: nan Thanks, Scott -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
