Hi list, im just working on a small tool for throwing out some availability-statistics of different webservices. Therefore I store "unconsolidated" data of one year in a RRD (timestep 300). All i need to store is just a 0 or a 1 (service is available | is not available) and the time (max. 180 seconds) needed for connecting to the service (f.e. https://whatever.bla). And so i have a problem:
Is it possible to store more than one value in just one data-point of RRD? At the moment i'm filling one RRD with 0 | 1 and another with the belonging connection-time, but this is, of course, a real waste of harddisk-space, beacause both data belongs together... and in the RRD where im storing just a 0 or an 1, there should be much space left (RRD uses 32Bit for one data-point?) ... Does anybody know how to "elegantly" solve that problem? If RRD doesn't provide a possibiliy to solve that - has anyone an idea about suitable bit-shifting operations i can use to store 2 values in 1 (i need 1 bit for the availablity - the rest should be more than enough for the time-value...) Thanks! Sven. -- 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
