I am new to rrdtool and learning piece at a time. I "think" I now have a handle on creating the databases and have been collecting data for about a week now and that data looks ok. So now I want to get my databases collecting what I "believe" will be most useful to me. Looking at MRTG it seems that might be okay that way they did it to do same in rrdtool. below is what I believe I am going to do. I am asking as I have not even gotten to creating graphs and if someone here knows something that I should store that I have not I would appreciate input.
Storeing datarates kb/s, signal:noise ratios for radios: number of radios associated: percentage of error rates: and about 6 other parameters. times storeing: for a daily graph average every 5 minutes and store 3 days for a weekly graph average every 10 minutes and store 3 weeks for a monthly graph average every hour and store 3 months for a yearly graph average every 12 hours and store 3 years. MRTG seems to do a pretty good job but I need a little more resolution for my error rates and SNR's so I have (I believe) been wanting better resolution. Also on my screens the MRTG graphs only take up 1/3 of left to right screen so I stored more because if I want I can make better use of my monitors. Any input would be appreciated.
