I think Tobi doesn't have a problem with this (more on this later on). > But then a perfect solution would be to have the possibility to use a > variable in CDEF's that represents the number of consolidated points in an > RRA, BUT DIFFERENT FOR EVERY RRA IN THE RRD, because the whole problem > arises since an 'rrdtool graph ....

This is the exact amount of emails/bytes/whatever; just remember that the numbers you're working with are already normalized. > You could then call 'rrdtool graph' with one CDEF that says 'multiply > data_source (which is AVERAGE CF'ed in the RRA's ) by steps_rra (which is > the steps value of the RRA's RESPECTIVELY). > > Wouldn't this be great! I think you need to have a look at the 1.1.x development source tree ! > Tobi, would it be a problem to have something like this being implemented? > I cannot determine how complex this would be. I *know* it *wasn't* that complex to add. And Tobi didn't complain :) The only thing is that you need to look for "TOTAL" not "SUM".
