This is something you can't say. > rrdtool create port_xxx.rdd --step 60 \ > DS:in:COUNTER:600:U:U \ > DS:out:COUNTER:600:U:U \ > RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \ > RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \ > RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \ > RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:3725 \ What this means is: Each PDP is worth 60 seconds (--step). Updates cannot be further apart than 600 seconds (600 in DS). If updates occur, say, every 300 seconds then with each update there will be 5 PDPs calculated. The rate calculated for each of these PDPs is then checked against the minimum (U == unknown) and maximum (also U) values. When the rate is allowed, it will be used to compute the value for a CDP. CDP calculation: 0.5 times the amount of PDPs needed per CDP may be unknown. The RRAs need 1,6,24 and 288 PDPs per CDP. The RRA stores 600,700,775,3725 of these CDPs. Total time per RRA: The total time per RRA is the time per PDP (your --step time) multiplied with the amount of PDPs per CDP (steps) multiplied by the amount of CDPs. The numbers are: 60*1*600 == 36000 seconds == 10 hours 60*6*700 == 252000 seconds == 70 hours = 2 days 22 hours 60*24*775 == 1116000 seconds == 12 days 22 hours 60*288*3725 == 64368000 seconds == 745 days -- __________________________________________________________________ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.
