I would disagree. I believe that rrdtool is a great tool for analyzing
data from an apache access_log. I set up a custom apache log which had
all the fields of data I required, then parsed through and sent the
totals to an rrdtool database which has been running flawlessly for over
2 years. I keep one year of data in the database so I have trend data
over that time.
Here is the way I have the rrdtool db set up. This is a python function
which I send a few parameters through but you should be able to get the
gist of how it is set up.
def checkRRD( rrd = None, rrdid = None, daystart = None ):
rrdStart = "-b " + str(daystart)
step = "-s " + str(300)
cur_id = str(rrdid) + '.rrd'
cur_rrd = rrd_db_dir + '/' + cur_id
rrdtuple = (cur_rrd,rrdStart,step,
'DS:adm_bytes:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:adm_hits:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:adm_avg_load:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:adm_max_load:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:adm_min_load:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:adm_err_cnt:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:end_bytes:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:end_hits:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:end_avg_load:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:end_max_load:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:end_min_load:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:end_err_cnt:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'DS:bandwidth_bytes:GAUGE:600:0:U',
'RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:105120',
'RRA:MAX:0.5:1:105120')
if os.path.exists(cur_rrd):
pass
else:
rrd.create(rrdtuple)
return (cur_id, cur_rrd)
Hope this helps,
