The numbers from rrdtool aren't even close to those from flow-report. I cannot believe they are correct ... but I've never played with rrdtool before so I might be entering the fetch request wrong. (But if they are correct then what are they telling me?) I suspect rrdtool may have a problem running in 64-bit, but I don't have a 32-bit box to try it on. Anyone care to comment?


Yes, RRD database is not the right data representation for storing precise numbers, it plays rather odd (to me) rounding games. I use Berkeley DB for storing billing data, which does not exhibit similar problems.

Vladimir,

So you basically set up your own database scheme that stores raw data. Did you then write your own data analysis code to perform whatever statistical work you needed for billing? Do you provide usage graphs from this databased information too?

My goal was to keep code-writing to a minimum - clearly an unattainable goal. :-) I expected some coding for the billing portion, but I fully expected something to exist for storing real data, generating graphs for the data, and providing a way to get at the real data for 95th percentile report generation.
