Yesterday you sent me mail regarding [rrd-users] VISIONARY: New tool to...:
JI> So what am I suggesting? It's very short to express but probably not JI> trivial to achieve: write a tool which efficiently and accurately enough JI> might store, process and graph this kind of dynamicly changing data sets JI> and which supports the data consolidation over time MRTG/RRDtool uses JI> (store 5 min samples for 48 hours, store 30 min samples for 2 weeks JI> etc).. doing this with rrdtool should not be too difficult ... think about a directory tree with 3 levels ... each dir represents a byte of the contributing hosts IP address the last byte woud be the file name ... you can create rrd files as you go along ... my question would rather be, what reports do you want to generate from this data ... this will be the real challenge ... do you want to store the whole matrix ... source AND destination ? this would make it probably unpractical with rrdtool, you might want to use a SQL database (postgresql) for this ... but again, the question what are you going to do with the data ? cheers tobi -- ______ __ _ /_ __/_ / / (_) Oetiker, Timelord & SysMgr @ EE-Dept ETH-Zurich / // _ \/ _ \/ / TEL: +41(0)1-6325286 FAX:...1517 ICQ: 10419518 /_/ \.__/_.__/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
