It will do, by design, if you feed in updates out of order. If feeding data like that is a fundamental part of your system design, then RRD is not the right tool for your task. If you need to insert a screw, then a hammer isn't the right tool. The fact that the hammer doesn't turn the screw isn't a fault of the design of the hammer - it's simply a symptom of the tool not being matched to the job. It may be that a combination of tools is what you need. Perhaps some short-term random access database that allows you to do inserts out-of-order, and then take the data from that (after some suitable period to allow everything to be sorted out) and stuff it into RRD for long term storage. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
