RRDs are updated every time the metadaemon polls an XML source (usually a monitoring core). This tends to be more frequently than the most frequently-updated metric.

I'm pretty sure it then walks the entire metric tree and updates every RRD. It's been a while since I've looked in that code...

I have a question about how ganglia reports metrics. I have metric that is reported every minute for every node in the cluster. When I dump the contents of the rrd file for that metric for a single node it shows the value being changed multiple times in a minute. Why is that? Thanks
