You will have to remove the old rrds to allow your new definition to be applied. The RRA is only used at the initial creation of each rrd file. If you want to keep your old data, you will have to do magic (dump/export/import/perl-script) regards,
Richard Grevis Production Architecture Barclays Capital, Canary Wharf, London, E14 4BB -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of CASTRO Paulo Edgar Sent: 29 March 2007 15:57 To: [email protected] Subject: [Ganglia-general] Ganglia custom Round-Robin archives RRA Hi all. We have been testing ganglia here implemented in about 250 machines. By the way, good job on the tool guys. We've been peeking at the conf files namely gmetad.conf and we found this commented option about Custom Round-Robin archives. The thing is, we wanted to be able to have a RRA of our own who could aggregate all the 5 minute PDP for a whole year. See what I mean ;), So we wouldn't lose granularity while reading directly from the rrd files. We tried adding this to the gmetad.conf RRAs "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:105408" being 105408 the number of 5 minutes in a year. But we still haven't noticed any change nor the rrd files have grown enough to accommodate the new RRA. How can we manage to do this? Do we need to start the whole colection process again, erasing the previous data and files? Will it work with this new option? Is this syntax for the conf file correct?
