I am interested in setting this up. I have looked around and not found much information about setting up RRD to store 5-min data for 1yr or 2yr. Can someone please point me to a location that discuss' the setup for this? Also what does the graph look like then? I only monitor about 100 interfaces so the file size will not be a problem for me.
