excellent. now I have just started looking at rrd over the last couple of
days, maybe thinking of replacing my mrtg setup with it. there a couple of
questions for now:

first, a simple one, if I have many different objects/processess being
monitored, is it a good ides to segregate them into individual rrd files or
do you just chuck them all in together?

and now one in at the deep end: the tutorial at people.ee.ethz.ch/ gives the
following example:

rrdtool graph speed4.gif                           \
        --start 920804400 --end 920808000               \
        --vertical-label km/h                           \
        DEF:myspeed=test.rrd:speed:AVERAGE              \
        "CDEF:kmh=myspeed,3600,*"                       \
        CDEF:fast=kmh,100,GT,100,0,IF                   \
        CDEF:over=kmh,100,GT,kmh,100,-,0,IF             \
        CDEF:good=kmh,100,GT,0,kmh,IF                   \
        HRULE:100#0000FF:"Maximum alllowed"             \
        AREA:good#00FF00:"Good  speed"                  \
        AREA:fast#550000:"Too fast"                     \
        STACK:over#FF0000:"Over speed"                  

the line I am interested in is the CDEF that calculates the 'over' variable.
I have an rrd which stores in and out traffic for eth0 on my development
machine and I graph (from a perl script) it like so:

system("rrdtool graph /var/www/html/rrdtool/eth0.gif \\
        --start -43200 --vertical-label bytes/second \\
        --title \"eth0 Traffic Monitor\" \\
        DEF:inoctets=/var/www/html/rrdtool/eth0.rrd:input:AVERAGE
        DEF:outoctets=/var/www/html/rrdtool/eth0.rrd:output:AVERAGE
        HRULE:20000#0F0000:\"Limit of Sensible Load\" \\
        LINE2:inoctets#00FF00:\"In traffic\" \\
        LINE2:outoctets#0000FF:\"Out traffic\"");

I want to be able to do something like the CDEF and STACK from the turorial
example where if the in or outgoing eth0 traffic is above a certain
ammount, then print it in a different color like the example. I have tried
adding the line and jst changing 'kmh' for 'inoctets', but it just makes the
graph go strange. Please can someone explain how that CDEF works so I can
customise it.

Thanks guys
