Why dont you just name the DSs like: DS:uid1_user1_bytes:GUAGE:U:U DS:uid2_user2_bytes:GUAGE:U:U DS:uid3_user3_bytes:GUAGE:U:U
This way bytes of the different users are stored in one rrd.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ketan Patel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Chris Flanigan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <rrd-users@list.ee.ethz.ch> Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 11:34 AM Subject: [rrd-users] Re: Correct? > This seems correct since data types are gauges. 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.
