I would like to use RRD to track daily stats (i.e one value per day). I successfully build RRD 1.0.28 on HP-UX, so functionally everything works OK. I have however encountered a problem when trying to load my data into an RRD. I have created an GAUGE RRD with a step of 86400 but - "rrdtool dump test.rrd" has the wrong time values (for example, when I created the RRD I specified start as 2000-11-09 05:00:00 (973764000) yet the value in the RRD is 2000-11-09 19:00:00). I looked through the rrd_create.c file and noticed that whatever start value I supply, it is "re-adjusted" by taking the modulo of the specified step (86400 in my case) [to get to midnight GMT] and then adjusting for the timezone (EST5EDT in my case) [subtracting 5 hours]. Basically, I have to always use 19:00:00 as a "fake" timestamp if I want to avoid RRD filling in values or re-adjusting them to account for the time difference between my supplied time value and 19:00:00 (which distorts my real values)...
Am I doing anything wrong or is there a design reason why the RRD can't reflect my date/time values ?
