Hi Seun. Your best bet isn't to use grep at all. You can use time offset specification in rrdtool and include it in your fetch statement.
Set up a cron job that runs every Saturday and fetches the last five day's data. Should do the trick. Hope that helps, Corey. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of gab.seun jones.ewulomi Sent: December 8, 2003 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [rrd-users] grep dates on snmp collected data Hi people, I use egrep to grep on data of the format below 10/11/2003 00:00 299 0.43 0.45 140.54 68.34 72.2 32 11/11/2003 00:05 301 0.25 0.34 93.56 39.77 53.78 28 12/11/2003 00:10 300 0.34 0.37 113.91 54.08 59.83 32 1) To see all data for just a certain day I usually do grep '^10/.*/2003' <snmp.log> 2)to see all data for some days I usually do egrep -e '11/.*/2003' -e '12/.*/2003' snmp.log Now if I want to see the all data for example from 10/11/2003 - 15/11/2003 how would this be done with awk, egrep or sed. My main aim is to see/filter all data in a snmp log file just for mondays-fridays and omitting all the weekend dates. Any help or advice will be graetlu appreciated. regards, seun _________________________________________________________________ On the move?
