If you can live with not being able to fetch the MIN and MAX data in high resolution, why not just have those RRAs in a one-hour per CDP RRA? The MIN and MAX values would then be processed as you desire, if I'm not mistaking. > It would be nice if the grapher could support something like: > > DEF:min:temperature.rrd:MIN:3600 > DEF:avg:temperature.rrd:AVERAGE > DEF:max:temperature.rrd:MAX:3600 Please join the developers list and fetch the *alpha* code.
