Well, I'm actually wanting to plot lines (with the bytes at a given timestamp) for each username. Should I create a new rrd for each user, instead of compiling it all into one? This is my first attempt with RRDTool, I'm just a bit confused still about how it all works, despite having read about it. I really appreciate your input.

But, why would you store username in a database this way? Database will have different/same usernames as the case may be. But when you retrieve the data, I guess you will retrieve it based on the time and not username. If you plot a graph using those retrived unames, I can just imagine how the graph will look like. > cheers > k2 > Chris Flanigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:I have data that I'm wanting to graph and I'd like to get an ok, or > confirmation that my train of thought is correct.
