I thought about that since it is exactly 6 hours off, but when I tried creating the database several different times i.e.. 8am,10am,... the database continually came up with 6pm CDT.

There's a binary (trytime?) that comes with rrdtool and will give you rrdtool's idea of the time. For example, pull a timestamp out of your database (rrdtool last ...) and check it with trytime, see if the time makes sense. -chris On Wed, 17 Apr 2002, Dusty Stults wrote: > First I want to apologize if this is a stupid question, but I have > read through the rrdtool docs and I'm no sure I understand how the > times in the database work.
