What kind of custom app are you using to pull the archived data ? Unix prog ? Windows prog ? Perl script ? My primary interface is 14all.cgi but I have routers2.cgi running and using it's archiving script just in case I would ever need it. I'd much rather keep everything combined into a modified 14all.cgi or such that could pull archived rrd data. I believe the routers2.cgi method is different than yours in that it copies the actual rrd files for the day into a dated dir keeping the original rrd size but making a new dir for every day. This of course is huge disk space wise but with such cheap space anymore I don't' really care. (I'm running about 20gig in rrd's right now). If you'd be willing to publish your custom app that'd be great...especially at least for me if its just a perl/cgi script that looks at the inflated rrd's

Cook, CCNA Sure, you can certainly do this. You just need to adjust the 5 minute RRA when you create the RRD. There is a section in cfgmaker that defines what RRA's are created within an RRD, and you just need to increase this. We are using regular MRTG to poll the values, 14all to display, and a custom program to select a specific 24 hour period to show 5 minute values for any day since we started the collection for up to a year (in some cases up to 4 years) back.
