The specific settings you need to achieve 6 months of history will depend on your 'step' value. There's a bit of math involved, but it's not too hard to figure out (number of seconds in 6 months divided by your step value).
The file size of RRD files is static once the file is created -- the file size is directly related to how many rows you store in the RRD files, and that varies with the amount of history and the levels of aggregation you set up.
Note that if you're reconfiguring the RRD files, you'll have to delete all of the existing ones (losing the historical data in the process) unless you're willing to manually reconfigure all of the existing files... Smokeping won't update this automatically. It's possible to port the existing data over to the new configuration, but it's a bit of work.

With the default smokeping installation, I only seem to keep about 3 weeks worth of data. How do increase this to say 6 months?Any estimates on database size and growth patterns with that length of history?Thanks, Matt _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
