you use one rra for one combination of timeslice/precision f.e. if you read a counter 6 times an hour you can use one rra with 1 step and 6 rows --> you can graph one hour, every value goes to the graph if you take 60 rows you can graph 10 hours
but if you want to graph one year, you dont use 6*24*365 samples. too much diskspace, too much work to graph instead, take another rra with f.e. 365 samples and step 6*24 rrdtool will "CF" (average f.e.) your data of one day -> less diskspace and less work when graphing that also less precision, but as most graphs have 200-800 pixels you loose this precision when graphing out of 6*24*365 samples, too -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Rodriguez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 07, 2003 10:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [rrd-users] Fw: Re: Question So judging from your scripts, it seems you cannot graph multiple DIFFERENT sources from an RRD with: ONE Data Source and one or many RRAs So this is still something I don't understand (been playing with RRDTOOL for a week) Why would you have multiple RRAs?
