I have ~10,000 RRD's with a bad RRA definition which is saving stuff for only 3 months. (instead of 2 years) I am shoving the data from a backup RRD into the current one and recreating it. the only way I know how to do this is via the XML output of both... it seems to work ok, but it is slow. my solution to this issue is just to skip the first 22 bytes of the XML that python generates. regards Ian. > > cheers > tobi > >> as a followup to my how to merge 2 rrd's post later I started going >> to XML manipulation route. >> >> I noticed that RRD doesn't like to restore a document that starts >> with the following >> >> <?xml version="1.0" ?> >> >> which is valid xml. >> I'm thinking the 'eat_tag' function needs to be adjusted to cater for >> this. >> >> any thoughts? >> >> -- >> Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> subject=unsubscribe >> Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> subject=help >> Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-developers >> WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi >> > > -- > ETH Zurich > Tobias Oetiker, IT Support Group D-ITET (ISG.EE) > ETL F24.2, Physikstrasse 3, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland > Phone +41 44 63 25286, http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/ -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-developers WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
