Hi, Christoph. You need to create a CDEF to get the timestamp of the current measurement first. Since RRDTool requires that you have to have a variable in your CDEF, take any variable, subtract it from itself (which produces zero) and then add the TIME. Your next CDEF can get the PREV of that (ie, the previous timestamp), and RRDTool is happy.
A bit confusing, I know. Here's an example... CDEF:mytime=TIME,idefix2_content,idefix2_content,-,+ CDEF:prevtime=PREV(mytime) Now prevtime holds the timestamp of the previous measurement. You can use the PREV function again in another CDEF to get the measurements that correspond to prevtime. Hope that helps.

Let's say, I have the following: DEF:idefix2_content=/pathtorrd/idefix2_content.rrd:idefix2_con tent:AVERAGE as dataset, and I would like to create virtuall dataset from this. How does the CDEF-Line have to look like? thanks in advance and regards Christoph -- 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 -- 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
