Lo all, Not wanting to sound like a pathetic lazy newbie here (Newbie to RRD I am though, lazy I don't think), I've read through the various documentation that comes with RRDTool over 25 times now (As well as a mini-howto I found via google). Either I am just really stupid, and unfortunately maths never was my strong point - which is making my quest harder I think.
I was wondering if anyone perhaps know of some really good docs explaining how RRD works. I think I've managed to get the creation of the databases under my belt, but the graphing, leaves ALLOT to be desired. I am totally clueless as to how to create the graphs I want, and are semi-clueless on the creation of databases. To give you guys a example of what I want to achieve right now (perhaps one of you would be so kind to provide me with the code to create the db and do the graphing - though, I'd still like to RTFM on my own)... I want to monitor Cisco serial ports, and capture incoming and outgoing traffic, 2yrs worth of archives. Now that's fairly easy, I think I've managed to get a DB for this. Now, I want to create 4 graphs out of this information. 1) Incoming / Outgoing Traffic in the last 24hrs (MRTG Equivalent) 2) Incoming / Outgoing Traffic in the last month (MRTG Equivalent) 3) Incoming / Outgoing Traffic in the least year (MRTG Equivalent) 4) Total traffic used in the *current* Month. With a additional line, indicating anything below a threshold (say, 1GB) in one colour, and everything above the threshold in a alternative colour. (Should be only from 01/01/01 to 31/01/01 for example, hence, the total traffic incoming over the interface, for the current month it is in). Additionally, I'd also like to know how I can export RRD's data to a CSV type file. I am *totally* clueless as to how I can achieve this... The docs are good however, I'm sure it's just me that's being rather stupid, and once I get the proper syntax, I'm more than likely going to kick myself for not thinking of it myself - but after battling with this for two months now, I need to find a solution rather quickly, seeing that my deadline to implement the system is slowly crawling nearer and nearer.
