Hello, I have a project for which the graphing capabilities of RRDTool would be very helpful. I've looked into the RRDs perl module, and I have a couple of questions:
We have an Oracle database, and it would be nice if I could store RRD's data in Oracle rather than in a text file - however, the perl interface seems to only accept a filename to store the data in for the RRDs::create and RRDs::graph functions, for instance. Is there a way to either: a) Point RRDs to something else when storing and retrieving the data - Oracle itself, or even a filehandle or a hash, so I can use Oracle (which is on another box with plenty of hard disk space for all this data) or b) Give RRDs the data and get a graph out without using a file to store the data first - so I can store the data in Oracle myself and pour it into RRDs to draw the graph. I guess what I'm saying is that I'd like to use RRDs graph drawing capabilities but not necessarily it's data storage. Though it would be nice to have the 'round-robin-ness', I just don't want it to have to read from and write to files on the web server - I'd rather have it read from and write to Oracle.
