Yes, doing as you describe does keep the input values intact. Thanks.
However, the times associated with the values in the database are set to the local time, and hence when a graph is generated the data is offset from the vertical lines which occur on the GMT midnight boundaries. Here in Maryland its 4 hours different (5 after Nov. 1), producing an unclean and confusing graph. I'm in the process of trying the 3600 step approach (first attempt failed...)

Unfortunately it is somewhat more complicated. See Serge >and Alex's discussion: Actually it's not...I went through this myself a few weeks ago. If your RRD start time is midnight GMT and you feed rrdtool with a timestamp of midnight GMT every day you will get the actual values in the database. This is usually considered the wrong way to use the tool but when it's what you need it does work.
