It depends - do you want to *store* a sample every 60 seconds, or do
you just want to *take* a sample every 60 seconds? You can take a
sample every 60 seconds with the initially defined RRD, and RRDtool
will just accumulate 5 of them into 1 5-minute sample.
If you want to keep 1 minute samples, then decide how many you want to
keep, and insert that RRA at the beginning of the example RRD
definition. (Don't replace the others, just add that one first.)
RRDtool will then keep those values, while continuing to also compute
the values into the other RRAs for longer time intervals.
