I don't think you'll be able to do that directly in rrd, but it should be fairly easy with a bit of scripting. Firstly, you can roll up your 5 minute samples by defining an RRA in your database - then rrd will take care of it for you. Then what I suggest is you write a script that will dump the values from the database, sort the value and take the largest 8, and then feed the result back into a different rrd. You can then run this script a little after midnight each day. For the timestamp use the midnight just passed. Be aware that you cannot go back and 'fill in' missing values so for refinement, to take care of missed script runs, you might want to look at last time you updated the daily record and go back to cover that day and the following ones until now. Eg, if today is 26th and you last updated the daily rrd on 22nd, then you would need to do your daily run for 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 25th. The run for the 26th will be done on the 27th. That's one hint, I'll leave you to figure out the details - mostly because it's beyond my rrd basics ! _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list rrd-users@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
