Hi, i am currently bussy with the following problem:
our switch updates it's SNMP-Counters (RMON traffic counters to be precise) in unfixed steps. Sometimes in 2 minutes but sometimes it takes over 7 minutes. So updating the RRD database in constant intervalls is a bad idea. Too long intervalls (especially 15 minutes to ensure counter is at least one time updated) is not an option because i want the collected values as exect as possibly. So i read the counters every minute to be near real uptdate time. If i specify minimal values for an RRA, "unknown" (xff is 0.0) will be written to the database if counter ist not updated in this minute but i can't find the "best" "--step" value for rrdcreate. Too long steps gives a very step-stoned graph and too short "--steps" gives a graph going up and down. Hm, to make it short: What would be the best solution for such data sources? thnx -- mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] talk: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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
