[rrd-users] Re: Converting rrd files from one system to another

2005-01-20 Thread Serge Maandag 
 in it.   I was hoping I could write a simple shell loop to dump 
 everything:
 for x in `ls *.rrd`
 do
 rrdtool xport ${x}  ${x}_xport
 done

Wouldn't it be much easier to use rrdtool dump and rrdtool restore?

Serge.

xport ??? Thats wrong.
The name (and description in the man page) is a little bit misleading
(rrdxport - Export data in XML format based on data from one or several RRD)

You should use rrdtool dump and rrdtool restore to convert databases.

rrddump - dump the contents of an RRD to XML format
rrdrestore - restore the contents of an RRD from its XML dump format

So you should run:

rrdtool dump rrd_on_old_host.rrd  rrd_on_old_host_dumped.xml

and restore them on the new host via:

rrdtool restore rrd_on_old_host_dumped.xml rrd_on_new_host.rrd

Easy, isn't it? ;)

Hope that helps,

Andreas.
