[rrd-users] Re: Printing a text report instead of a graph
I originally thought that would do the trick. However, I've never gotten the results I want. For example, here is my original graph statement rrdtool graph - \ --start=end-86400 \ --title=SSA-SRSW-NCC-W00C02 \ --vertical-label=bandwidth % \ --imgformat=PNG \ --width=750 \ --base=1000 \ --height=180 \ --interlaced \ DEF:a=/data1/cricket-data//NCC/ssa-srsw-ncc-w00c02_3-1_if.rrd:ifhcinocte ts:AVERAGE \ DEF:b=/data1/cricket-data//NCC/ssa-srsw-ncc-w00c02_3-1_if.rrd:ifhcoutoct ets:AVERAGE \ CDEF:A=a,12500,/,100,* \ CDEF:B=b,12500,/,100,* \ LINE1:A#00:ifhcinoctets AVERAGE \ GPRINT:A:MIN:"Min\: %8.2lf%s" \ GPRINT:A:AVERAGE:"Avg\: %8.2lf%s" \ GPRINT:A:MAX:"Max\: %8.2lf%s" \ GPRINT:A:LAST:"Last\: %8.2lf%s" \ LINE1:B#FF:ifhcoutoctets AVERAGE \ GPRINT:B:MIN:"Min\: %8.2lf%s" \ GPRINT:B:AVERAGE:"Avg\: %8.2lf%s" \ GPRINT:B:MAX:"Max\: %8.2lf%s" \ GPRINT:B:LAST:"Last\: %8.2lf%s" Gives me a nice graph. I make the following changes removing everything related to the graph and changing the GPRINTs to PRINTs: rrdtool graph /var/tmp/out.txt \ --start=end-86400 \ DEF:a=/data1/cricket-data//NCC/ssa-srsw-ncc-w00c02_3-1_if.rrd:ifhcinocte ts:AVERAGE \ DEF:b=/data1/cricket-data//NCC/ssa-srsw-ncc-w00c02_3-1_if.rrd:ifhcoutoct ets:AVERAGE \ CDEF:A=a,12500,/,100,* \ CDEF:B=b,12500,/,100,* \ PRINT:A:MIN:"Min\: %8.2lf%s" \ PRINT:A:AVERAGE:"Avg\: %8.2lf%s" \ PRINT:A:MAX:"Max\: %8.2lf%s" \ PRINT:A:LAST:"Last\: %8.2lf%s" \ PRINT:B:MIN:"Min\: %8.2lf%s" \ PRINT:B:AVERAGE:"Avg\: %8.2lf%s"\ PRINT:B:MAX:"Max\: %8.2lf%s" \ PRINT:B:LAST:"Last\: %8.2lf%s" And get what I guess is the expected behavior, but it's not what I want: Min: 486.93m Avg:13.15 Max:97.81 Last: 2.23 Min: 1.43 Avg:31.61 Max:98.62 Last: 2.43 What I want is a list of datapoints that made up the LINE in the graph, (preferably listed with a timestamp).

RRSs::xport returns an array with all the information you need. I posted sample code some months ago.

[rrd-users] Re: Printing a text report instead of a graph
I *do* think it seems more like a buffering issue than an xport issue as I said. I think I must have first tried RRDs::xport first. I wonder why I didn't use it? I still think xport seems kind of messy--you have to wade through all that XML to get your data. But if noone has a different suggestion I will go back to trying RRDs::xport.

After a very fast look at RRDp.pm it seems that it will call rrdtool directly und uses its output. Usually stdout/stdin are buffered and maybe the buffering produces this mess.

Could you try RRDs::xport instead? It is directly linked against librrd (at least it doesn't call rrdtool directly). HTH, Andreas.

[rrd-users] Re: Printing a text report instead of a graph
I have a perl script that generates a list of around 300 rrd files and cranks through each one, producing an xport for each one. I use RRDp::cmd with xport. The main issue we've seen I posted about previously to this list in a post called "Rrdxport issues". It seems like it might be an output buffering issue rather than an rrdxport issue, but I haven't been able to fix it in any case. -Original Message- From: Andreas Maus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 10:37 AM To: Ruttenberg, Tanya Cc: rrd-users@list.ee.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [rrd-users] Printing a text report instead of a graph On Tue, Oct 24, 2006 at 10:27:17AM -0400, Ruttenberg, Tanya wrote: Hi Tanya. > I have been using rrdtool for over a year and I have yet to figure out > a reliable way to print my data in a textual report rather than as a > graph. > What is the best way to do this?
