Hi Sven, rrdtool fetch will use the data which a) covers the timerange you requested b) has a higher or equal resolution to what you requested ... cheers tobi Today Sven Ubik wrote: > > Note that if you configure rrd to keep lots of hires values AS WELL > > AS lower res values for the SAME TIME

Hi Alex, I am not sure about your question. Are you asking why I want to fetch data with arbitrary time resolutions? It is interesting to see dynamics of network characteristics in different timescales. RRD file can store statistics in only a limited set of time resolutions, which are fixed and c
