I believe it Matthew Chambers and I discussed this on IRC once and we sort of concluded that we should use the base unit for each metric and let rrdtool deal with the unit scaling. The reason being right now the memory metrics are in KB, and if you have gigabytes of memory then it would show up as n k KB = GB. Whereas if the base unit is B, then it would just say n g B which seems to be easier to figure out. Do you know in practice how bad is the performance hit? Sounds like a trade off between performance and readability. Cheers, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
