times doing those calculations, several runs. Bash uses integer
calculations, and my sequence saves a calculation internally.
Fair enough.
Printing the value can be done using perl, but unless you're going to
use perl for other purposes as well you are better off with gnu-date.
This runs in 44% of the time needed for starting perl:
/bin/date -d 19700101\ 00:00\ +\ ${etime}sec
It means: the unix epoch (19700101 00:00, timezone UTC) and then
${etime} seconds further in time (so: reverse of date +%s)
Sneeky ! I'd never have thought of that.

Hi Simon,
I would use
perl -e 'print .localtime(time - time % 300)'

I use a hardcoded path, to avoid PATH search (more work, more cpu

Time formatting works, so you can add '+%F %T' to the command and
get a nicer format:
/bin/date -d 19700101\ 00:00\ +\ ${etime}sec +%F\ %T
To get it into a variable, to be used in your graph script:
printedtime=$(/bin/date -d 19700101\ 00:00\ +\ ${etime}sec +%F\ %T)
printedtime=$(/bin/date -d 19700101 00:00 + ${etime}sec +%F %T)

Thanks for the input guy's
I converted my end time however the generation of 6 graphs still takes 30
seconds on my 266 mhz processor. The script below only shows one rrdtool
graph statement however the other 5 graphs statements are the same. Is
there anything else I can do to optimise the graph generation.

etime=$((${etime}/${step}*${step} ))

This makes sure you know the effect for each separate change, and you know the time needed wasn't affected by other processes that also may consume CPU cycles (at least: not a temporary running program). Can't comment on slope-mode. In general: try removing options you don't really need. If it makes a difference, you can decide what is more important; if it doesn't make a difference, it is easy to put the option back in. (when you've tried, please do report the outcome here for future reference) Duration 1d and width 426. You may want to see if this could be improved. It now is 202.8169014 seconds per pixel. Assuming step==300 seconds and an RRA where steps==1step: Try duration 127800seconds (300*426) or width 288 pixels. Adjusting the width is probably better, as it will use less resources thus less time. I think this should help; also report back please.

well in my case i compiled rrdtool from source and it installed as a library AND a program, the headers are in /usr/include or /usr/local/include. most of the functions don't need alot in the way of args. you pass them an int of how many args and a char ** array of the args ie: argc, argv. like you ran it from the command line. however the graph function is different and you should dig up some usage of it to see what they did. the newer versions of rrdtool use a file pointer and i am not sure what they did yet.

What is happening is that it is logging data, but it is logging the
verticle scale as k, it needs to show the difference in packets between
each reading, and not have any m k or any other symbols apart from the
amounts.

Umm, I have used Counter and DERIVE, yet it still dos'nt get the data right.
The difference between each reading is not something you want to
use rrdtool for. For these kind of applications you should choose
sql, access, or even a flat file.
Is that not what DERIVE Should do?
If you want to see a rate, an amount of rejects per second, then rrdtool
is the tool to use.
That is exactly what I am trying to do, but accuracy is important.
RTFM rrdgraph, stuff about units-exponent
I have RTFM, and the units-exponent is'nt helping. It is the accuracy that I
need help with.
I have the following Perl Script
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use RRDs;
# define location of rrdtool databases
my $rrd = '/var/lib/rrd';
# define location of images
my $img = '/var/www/localhost/htdocs/temp/';
ProcessChain(DROP-INPUT, Input Chain Drops);
ProcessChain(DROP-FORWARD,Forward Chain Drops);
sub ProcessChain
{
# process interface
# inputs: $_[0]: Chain Name
# $_[1]: Chain Description
# get info
my $in = `/sbin/iptables -L $_[0] -v | grep LOG | awk '{print \$1}'`;
#my $out =`/sbin/iptables -L $_[0] -v | grep LOG | awk '{print
\$2}'`;
# remove eol chars
chomp($in);
print $_[0] packets in: $in\n;
# if rrdtool database doesn't exist, create it
if (! -e $rrd/$_[0].rrd)
{
print creating rrd database for $_[0]...\n;
RRDs::create $rrd/$_[0].rrd,
-s 300,
DS:drop:DERIVE:600:0:1250,
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:576,
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:672,
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:732,
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:144:1460;
}
# insert values into rrd
RRDs::update $rrd/$_[0].rrd,
-t, drop,
N:$in;
# create traffic graphs
CreateGraph($_[0], day, $_[1]);
CreateGraph($_[0], week, $_[1]);
CreateGraph($_[0], month, $_[1]);
CreateGraph($_[0], year, $_[1]);
}
sub CreateGraph
{
# creates graph
# inputs: $_[0]: Chain Name
# $_[1]: interval (ie, day, week, month, year)
# $_[2]: Chain Description
RRDs::graph $img/$_[0]-$_[1].png,
-s -1$_[1],
-t $_[0] :: $_[2],
# --lazy,
-h, 80, -w, 600,
-l 0,

HRULE:0#00;
if ($ERROR = RRDs::error) { print $0: unable to generate $_[0] $_[1]
traffic graph: $ERR$
}
Now this _does_ work, with one problem, the values are all wrong.
The graph looks like this
http://mains.bounceme.net/DROP-INPUT-day.png
As you can see, the current value is 12, however the command returns
4. So where is it getting the value of 12?
Could it be the fact that I am storing the Average value in the RRD? I have
several other scripts that are virtually the same and they all return the
correct values.

if ($ERROR = RRDs::error) { print $0: unable to generate $_[0] $_[1]

But that prints m on the GPRINT lines, and I am not sure of how to get rid. I
am also not entirly sure of the accuracy of the results.

GCC doesn't understand -xO3 (it's just -O3) and -xdepend (I don't know of any GCC equivalent here). I guess this happens automatically compiling RRD under Solaris (I've never done that myself, but I know it from compiling other Perl modules). So you have basically 2 choices if you want to compile RRD yourself: 1) Write a wrapper script for gcc (called 'mycc' or some such) that catches all Sun compiler flags and converts them to GCC flags (-xO3 - -O3, -KPIC - -fPIC, etc.) and then calls GCC. Of course the makefile must then call 'mycc' as C compiler. 2) Or you download a demo-version of Sun's compiler from their web-site for free. It runs for 30 or 60 days (can't remember).

Started by root, of course, so that it can bind to port 80. Since you don't say which web-server you're using, I'm going to assume apache. Edit the httpd.conf file and look for the User and Group lines. 2)I did as you suggested. I went into the directory where unpacked it remstats and typed make owner Note. This only fixes the permissions on files. If you run any other remstats programs as root after that, you'll be right back where you started with files owned by root under the remstats tree. 3)Yes I did create a remstats user. I have also created a host config file(by your direction) using new-config. which then created the pseudo-host _remstats_ 4) I then tried to use the new-ping-hosts to create a host. Im I using the new-ping-hosts in the correct way. can you help if possible. (output below) ./new-ping-hosts -d -f /var/remstats/etc/config/ That's incorrect. The debug flag wants a number after it and Getopt::Std is trying to take -f as the level, which will be interpreted as 0. Almost all the remstats programs will accept a -h flag (for help) to give you the syntax of the command-line. /var/remstats/etc/config/hostnames Perhaps you meant that to be on the same line? Doesn't matter. What you typed is completely wrong. New-ping-hosts (like all the new-xxx-hosts programs) wants to see a group-name to add the hosts to like: $ new-ping-hosts groupname hostfile It will use groupname as the name of the group for the hosts to belong to and read hostnames from hostfile. Unless you've overridden it in configure, /var/remstats/etc/config is the default config dir and you don't need to specify it. If you want to turn debugging on, use -d 1, not -d. Argument -f isn't numeric in numeric gt () at /var/remstats/lib/remstats.pl line 2715, FILE line 1.

Hi Ringler! You should have been reading manuals. After MRTG migrating to logformat RRDTool MRTG does not graph anymore. This what is written in the docs. You have to write your own Tool which uses rrdtool graph to generate Graphs and some cgi code which will deliver it via Webserver and HTML. Or you look at the rrdtool homepage, under rrdworld where you can find some prewritten software, which will be able to feed and extract a rrd.

RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:15:730 \ store 730 CDPs of 15 PDPs each. Each PDP is 60 seconds so each CDP in this RRA is 900 seconds (15 minutes). The total amount is 730*900 seconds is 657000 seconds is 182 hours 30 minutes. etcetera. If you want to graph 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, then you do the following calculations: Each PDP is 60 seconds (1 minute) and this is the base of everything else. Change this and you need to change the calculations below accordingly. The best approach is to work from a standard image size (or rather: canvas size) of 400 pixels. Each pixel should represent a whole number of PDPs. (or, a whole number of pixels should match one PDP). If you want to show an hour, show more than one hour. 1h20m is 80 minutes is 5 pixels per PDP. You need an RRA of at least 80 CDPs and each CDP is 1 PDP: RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:80 (you probably want to have a few more rows). One day or more: 1440 minutes or more. 1600 minutes nicely fits on 400 pixels. Each pixel represents 4 PDPs so each CDP should be 4 PDPs. You need 400 of such CDPs: RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:4:400 (again: a few more rows doesn't hurt) (if you'd work with 3 PDPs per CDP, you'd get 400 pixels * 3 PDPs per CDP is 1200 PDPs is 1200 minutes is less than one day). Same calculations for week,month and year. Same numbers for maximum, minimum and average.

[rrd-users] Re: help
Collins, Eric S. wrote: Hmm, 4 minutes/pixel? Not sure how that is derived. It doesn't help if you only have RRAs with 1 PDP per CDP, if you graph 1600 minutes then you will *have to* combine four PDPs into one pixel. Yes, this means averaging. Yes, this means you cannot have exact numbers as fetched from the source. This is how RRDtool works. This is how rates work. Everything is computed into an x per second value. You may be able to produce something that looks like what you want. This would involve LAST as a consolidation function. However I think this will show up as 35 if a range of 23 56 10 35 is consolidated. (I'm not sure. Can anybody who knows for sure tell please?) The closest you can get is to enter the values at suitable times. This means cheating: in stead of the real time you tell RRDtool to store it at time-(time modulo 60). Example: if now == 997745684 then you store the sample at 997745684 - 44 = 997745640. The numbers will be whole numbers in the RRA that has 1 PDP per CDP. When averaged into the RRA with 4 PDPs per CPD, you will end up with numbers that are x.25, x.50 or x.75, perhaps you want to round those using RPN instructions in a CDEF. This is not what you should want. You could also think of a perminute display, a perhour display, a perday display etcetera. All numbers end up in the database as rates (x per second) and can thus be multiplied by a number of seconds. Alternative to this suggestion: if your database contains GAUGE entries of number of users per minute, you can multiply by 60 to get the number of users per hour. cheers. -- __ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +--+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.

[rrd-users] Re: Help needed on rrdtool create and rrdtool update
Exactly! The data come in at an unknown timing. That is why I had them updated at random time and different interval. I read about the comparison between heartbeat and step, and didn't seem to find a way around it. In the document written by Don Baarda, it says, .If the interval between samples is longer than heartbeat, the entire interval is considered unknown... Meanwhile, I am not clear about whether this includes the end points of the interval if they are primary data points in an RRD. Serge was right on the data I tried to updated, 7200 is greater than 3600, but I would think RRDTool can be smart enough to determine 99417900 is unknown while 994176000 is 3 and 994183200 is 1, instead of thinking everything in the interval including the end points are unknown. Due to the nature of the data, if RRDTool cannot help, maybe I will need to artificially put a 0 for every missing heartbeat. This isn't hard but is definitely making my job more trivial.

[rrd-users] Re: Help needed on rrdtool create and rrdtool upd ate
Meanwhile, I am not clear about whether this includes the end points of the interval if they are primary data points in an RRD. There are no primary data points in an RRD, only intervals. Well, according to the document of RRD CREATE, there really is something called primary data point as in the paragraph When data is entered into an RRD, it is first fit into time slots of the length defined with the -s option becoming a primary data point. although I still don't understand what it is. :-) The interval labeled as 99417600 (if heartbeat is 3600) is actually the time period from 99417600-99421199. Any data that comes in during that time is considered as representing the time from the last sample to the time of the sample. If there is an interval of heartbeat seconds that does not contain at least two samples, that interval is treated as NaN (unknown). Why should there be two data in an interval? If The samples only present once an hour, there will be only one datum in 3600 seconds. Serge was right on the data I tried to updated, 7200 is greater than 3600, but I would think RRDTool can be smart enough to determine 99417900 is unknown while 994176000 is 3 and 994183200 is 1, instead of thinking everything in the interval including the end points are unknown. Nope. RRDTool is smarter than that, and it thinks that it doesn't have data for an interval if it doesn't have more than one sample in the interval. This is not smart to me. Why can it not just take what it's fed with? Why not use a small step and a large heartbeat? The only thing the heartbeat controls is how much time can elapse between samples without declaring the entire period unknown. Literally, heartbeat should represent your MAXIMUM acceptable time between samples, possibly plus some margin. The thing is, the MAXIMUM is unknown!! Even if I make the heartbeat hugely big, the timestamps that have no data would come up as something inaccurate with the smaller step.

rrdtool dump is the command you want, I use it to transfer a .rrd between different architechtures but you can use it to get an ASCII file out...to see the schema for the rrd you might want to look at the rrdtool info command...

[rrd-users] Re: Help! Resize difficulties.
I resize RRA 0 of several RRDs every 5 minutes. I run this script with cron. It resizes every rrd in a directory. To take care of several directories with one cron job, I actually run a script that calls this script several times but the directory is different each time. This script resizes, then deletes the original, then copies the resize.rrd to the originals name. It also lists the sizes before and after. the command line is: resize-rrd ./cricket-data/path-to-rrd-files 0 GROW 1 the params are Directory, RRA, GROW/SHRINK, Records here's the script: #!/bin/bash for rrdfile in $1/*.rrd ; do echo Before ls $rrdfile -s rrdtool resize $rrdfile $2 $3 $4 rm $rrdfile cp resize.rrd $rrdfile rm resize.rrd echo After ls $rrdfile -s echo done -Original Message- From: Sean R McNamara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 15:57 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: rrd-users@list.ee.ethz.ch Subject: [rrd-users] Re: Help!
