If you do either of these, it effectively forces it to communicate to rrdtool relying on the UNIX OS command line, which does have limitations on the total length and number of parameters. Perl doesn't necessarily have the same limitations, and can handle some very large arrays indeed. > Now, admitedly, I haven't tried RRDs, but I can't imagine that RRDs > would like that many parameters.

Or could you split them into e.g. 10 RRD files in a directory with 15 datasources each? Is there a problem which prohibits doing that? -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- LavaNet Systems Architect -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWJD?
