You are asking for the defaults of "now-1d" to "now" which is 86400/30=2880 rows. There aren't that many entries in the database. All but ten will be "filled" (not really) with unknowns. Verify this with either "rrdtool info" or "rrdtool dump". > And as i tried to do the examples from the rrdtutorial i found that i > can not create rrd's with timestamps so much in the past (978300900) ??? It works for me. What version are you using? And how? Please modify your rrdtool create command so that it includes the start time and retry / repost. cheers, -- __________________________________________________________________ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.
