Ganglia doesn't store string metrics in rrd files. It just gets the current value from gmetad and displays it. I may be wrong, but I don't think rrdtool is able to store string values. I think it is only meant to work w/ numeric data. -- Rick Mohr Systems Developer Ohio Supercomputer Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
