I have a problem where I am counting statistics on mail delivery: messages delivered, messages rejected, and messages "tagged" by Spam Assassin.
I gather the stats using simple greps on the current mail log file. However, the logs are rotated nightly and RRDTool assumes an overflow. This is the same problem described here: http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users/msg00239.html Two follow-ups were posted to him (which are linked from that page): one was to use an Unknown entry when the logs are rotated, the other was to use an ABSOLUTE DST (which, if I understand correctly, would require me to do the math myself to find the delta -- so I'd need to save the old value in a temp file?). Reason I am posting is because it's been over 3 years since that discussion, and I would like to know if there's now a more appropriate or automatic solution to this problem than the ones suggested above. Thanks. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
