ok Thanks Matt >>> "Matthew Chambers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/22/07 7:44 PM >>> RRDTool is designed to store rates, not boolean values or even counts (although it can do counts if you're ok with averages). The only way to use RRDtool to store boolean values would be to insert the 0 or 1 exactly on the step boundaries of the RRD, which is configurable when your RRDs are first created via gmetad.conf. But only the first RRA of that RRD would be valid, all the RRAs with a wider time span would be consolidated and normalized, which actually makes sense to me in this case, but it's up to you what you think about that.
You might also consider reading the archives of the rrd- users mailing list. This kind of question pops up often although I don't remember seeing it specifically for boolean values.
