One more question along these lines--ignoring the size of the RRD file itself, do you have a feel how much consolidation should impact performance? Our RRD generally keep one data point per minute for 30 days and then one data point per hour for 10 years. The second RRA was pretty arbitrarily chosen because it didn't have a significant impact on the size of the RRD files. And, at the time, we didn't have enough data for performance to be a concern. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-users WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
