[rrd-users] Numeric output only

2005-11-18 Thread Erik
Hello,

In order to create some nice reports i need to be able te generate text only 
output, this can be done using PRINT however a unused graph i still
generated at that time (which costs CPU power). Is it possible to only generate 
txt output?

Kind regards,

Erik Versaevel

Just realised i had some AREA's still defined, if you define no output 
(line/area/gprints) the image won't be generated (size 0x0)

Hi all, using RRD Tool and Routers 2 to display my graphs.  I get the following 
error RRD Error: Garbage ':46:00 AM\r' after command: COMMENT:11/18/2005 
7:46:00 AM\r on all of my targets.  I searched the WEB and have not found 
anything, has anyone seen this before?


Thanks

Hi Miachael.
 Hi all, using RRD Tool and Routers 2 to display my graphs.
 I get the following error RRD Error: Garbage ':46:00 AM\r'
 after command: COMMENT:11/18/2005 7:46:00 AM\r on all of my targets.
 I searched the WEB and have not found anything, has anyone seen this before?
Which version of rrdtool do you use?
I guess you are using rrdtool 1.2.x?.

In version 1.2.x you _have to_ esacpe _all_ colons.
See the NEWS file and look in the section called Incompatibilities:

[... snipp ...]
* Colons in COMMENT arguments to rrdtool graph must be escaped with a backslash
[... snipp ...]

HTH,

Andreas.

[rrd-users] Performance problem updating many RRD files

2005-11-18 Thread Alfredo Diehl
Hi,
   I'm using RRDTool to store data series produces by flowscan/JKFlow and I hit 
a performance problem updating many files. With 256 Mb RAM caching works OK up 
to about 2000 RRDs, but after that # performance fall suddenly. About 180Mb of 
RAM are dedicated to file caching, and I imagen that at certain amount of rrd 
files the caching system start to drop based on some LRU algorithm and the 
windows of caching just run useless behind the secuential update done on rrd 
files.
  Initially I was using RRDTool 1.0.49 and now I changed to 1.2.11 hoping MMAP 
IO would help with this. I made sure I compiled it with --enable-mmap but 
there was no diference in the # of files where performance degrades. I did not 
find any detail in how does MMAP works in the web, docs, neither have enough 
programming knoledge to understand the code, so I would apreciate if someone 
can give me information on:
   
  *The process of updating rrd files: I thought it was just needed to 
read/write a few bytes in every file, but it seems it is necesary to load a 
considerable part of the file in the cache in order to update it.
  *How MMAP IO works and how I use it: I imagen writing the updates of many 
files in memory and then sending all the request together to the disk, letting 
it to be more efficient. I didn't see any reference in rrdupdate doc on how to 
indicate how to use mmap.
   
   One quick solutions seem to be adding RAM, but I just want to do this as 
efficient as possible.
   
   Thank in advance,
   
   Alfredo

Hi Alfredo,


   I'm using RRDTool to store data series produces by
   flowscan/JKFlow and I hit a performance problem updating many
   files. With 256 Mb RAM caching works OK up to about 2000 RRDs,
   but after that # performance fall suddenly. About 180Mb of RAM

yes rrdtool update performance is 'cache bound' ... I don't think
MMAP will help with this ... MMAP will make updating faster but the
difference is nowhere as large as what the cache does for you ...
add more memory and you can update more rrd files fast ...

cheers

maybe you need to escape the '/'s

[rrd-users] Plot a dotted line

2005-11-18 Thread Simone Morandini
Hi all,
is there a way to display a dotted line on a graph? I have to display an
estimated value, so I thought a dotted line would be better...

Thanks in advance,
Simone.

Sure.

Take one of the CDEF examples, adapt it to your needs.

You want an intermittent on/off pattern, so you need to find
a CDEF that alternates between UNKN and your value.

The necessary CDEF will depend on the amount of time in your
graph.  For instance: if the graph displays 400 hours, you could
display that value for each odd hour and NaN for each even hour.

something like (untested!):
CDEF:dotted=TIME,3600,/,2,%,value,UNKN,IF
