Gents, Once you do this.. What happens to mrtg does it not care and just keep logging leaving the the averaging of the yearly data to rrd ?
Can the same be applied to daily.. ? Ie would like to keep every 5 minute collection for 2 years. ( I got the disk space, not the patience for management asking why they cant see the daily results for 2 weeks ago ). Perhaps someone who has done this wouldnt mind posting commands / examples of disk space after they have done the same. Thanks again.
