Hello, since a while i am digging around the Net to become more clear about rrdtool, but i am not making much progress.
My Goal is to graph the Number of Processes on my Server, for the last hour, day, week, month and year. In the beginning i just made one big Archive, using Can someone show me how to best create one such .rrd with multiple RRA`s, explain to me the calculations you made to decide on the values for the RRA`s? I tried multiple combinations, one - rrdtool create process_count.rrd --step 60 DS:pc:GAUGE:120:0:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:525960, which is supposed to take one value every 60 seconds, for one year, but it appears it is better to split the different required times into different RRA`s. I have no idea how to calculate this though. My main Problem is to determine the exact Values for the individual RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:?:?. I have read that for example this RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:60 should be one hour (1*60*60= 3600 seconds), and RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:24 should be 24 hours, but how about a week or a month for example? Why RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:24, and not RRA:AVERAGE: 0.5:24:60, both should equal a week, right? I really need a push in the right direction here. Thanks a lot for any Explanation, David _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list rrd-users@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
