The steps you need to take are fairly simple : 1) extract the data - you've already got that covered 2) create/recreate the rrd database 3) draw graphs Step 2 can be done either by creating an empty database and performing a number of updates to insert the data. Alternatively I believe there is the capability to import an XML file. Step 3 is no different to a 'normal' setup where data is collected and inserted over time. Just generate the required graphing commands and either call the rrdtool graph command, or use something like the Perl module. There are documentation pages on the RRD website. _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
