I have been doing rrdtool tutorials and a Bof at LISA this week and one toppic that keeps coming up is that good old
Why does updating a GAUGE type DS with X cause Y to be stored. I keep explaining the whole re-sampling issue and people eventually understand it, but in the light of makeing the customers happy, I have come up with the following idea. A new datasource type called DGAUGE. It would always *round down* the timestamp to the last step. To not break things too much, multiple updates to DGAUGE within the same STEP would get averaged without regards to the actual timestamp the update was provided. In that way, peple would see the data they put in, appear in 1 step AVERAGE, MIN and MAX RRAs as long as they manage to put in only one update per step. coments ? cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900 _______________________________________________ rrd-developers mailing list rrd-developers@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-developers
