RRD Developers and Tobi Oetiker, An updated version of the aberrant behavior detection code patch is now available for the current rrdtool-1.0.25.tar.gz distribution, replacing the previous patch at http://cricket.sourceforge.net/aberrant/rrd-1.0.25.aberrant.patch.gz.
This update contains some bug fixes related to bulk updates (multiple CDP updates generated by a single observation). I am troubleshooting a case of someone having difficulty installing the old patch... I don't know if that is just an isolated problem with the old patch, or just my ignorance about the GNU patch program. If it turns out to be a problem with the way I am generating the patch, I'll post an updated patch at that time. If you decide to give this a try and have problems with this new patch, please let me know. Here are the steps that worked to test install the patch for me: 1. Start with a clean install of rrdtool-1.0.25. That is, download rrdtool-1.0.25.tar.gz and extract the tar archive, then extract the directory structure and files from the tar archive. Don't run configure yet. 2. Uncompress rrd-1.0.25.aberrant.patch.gz into rrd-1.0.25.aberrant.patch 3. cd to the new directory (i.e. cd rrdtool-1.0.25) 4. Run the patch program with the -p1 flag: patch -p1 < ../rrd-1.0.25.aberrant.patch (assumes the patch is one directory up from the rrdtool install) The -p1 flag tells patch to strip the first directory from the path of each file listed in the patch file. 5. Backups of updated files are stored with *.orig extension. 6. Run configure, make, etc. as usual. We have also updated the implementation documentation at http://cricket.sourceforge.net/aberrant/rrd_hw.htm. In addition to comments on bulk updates, there are some minor editing changes and corrections.
