Well I did some tests here. I found out how timestamp works. It converts your local time to GMT time and then send you the timestamp:
eg: I'm in Brazil, GMT- 3hours.. if I type date +%s, it converts my time (15:18) to 18:18 (GMT Time) and then return the timestamp. That means that timestamp depends on your zone time... I did it linking /etc/localtime to Sao Paulo and GMT and run data command.. Other point I didn't explained on my doubt: The step: My step is 86400 (you guys can think: Its so high..). I wanna plot the total download of 1 day (not the rate per second, just the total volume...eg: yesteday we got 70GB of downloads, so the graph of yesterday must be a line that only changes on today's line... a stairs graphs..). But the question about step is that steps seems to be based on GMT . If my step is 86400, it needs to receive new input data in every midnight of GMT night.. (I mean, the step counter starts on 0:0:0 at GMT, so a 1 day step should be upload every 0:0:0 GMT time... ,no matter how you change your start point and update point by removing 10800s from the start point)... If it's true, I can see no solution to my problem... (I got an solution making my locatime file pointing to GMT time..then I got right data graphs...) First of all I tried to change starts points and update points... it didn't solve nothing... So I tried to attack another point: steps. And above you got my conclusions.. So Is there any hope to my problem? An core developer can pls explain this?
