I had the same problem last night, and my theory was shot, as I had the same error message.
What you can do is 'rrdtool dump file.rrd > file.dump' then edit the resulting xml file, and then use rrdtool to import the data back into the rrd file. Works great. You could easily make a program to insert the values for you since it is in xml. torleiv what you said > > Trouble is, I tried that and I get the following message; > > $ /usr/local/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update testccase.rrd "996019200:7" > ERROR: illegal attempt to update using time 996019200 when last update time > is 1004355231 (minimum one second step) > > Jon. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Torleiv Flatebo Ringer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 26 October 2001 19:04 > To: Wilks Jonathan-BJW002 > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [rrd-users] Importing data from ascii files. > > > Should be easy to do, just add data at the right time stamps.
