what happens, is that rrdtool will take the exact arival time of each value into account and integrate the space below the curve created by these values. When the step time arrives it will store a value which will create a 'space' below the 'curve' that is equivalent to the space below the curve build by the individual updates you provided ... the curve in this context is very simple and square ... for counters this is perfect, for gauge type datasources one could argue that a striaght connection betweenn the gauge values would be better (but it is not implemented in that way). everything else is build based on these initial step vales ... aka MIN, MAX, AVERAGE will all be the same for a 1 step rra. > BTW: I'm planning to have two redundant pollers feeding > the same rrd-files (with a DB-Cluster as a layer between) > in a 5min interval ... this will result in two updates > per "step". Any comments on this idea are wolcome ;-) note that you cann not update individual datasources ... you must always update all of them ... cheers tobi > > > > tobi > > > > > > Today Everton da Silva Marques wrote: > > > >> Hi, > >> > >> Is there any undesired side effect from > >> feeding rrd archive at a rate higher than > >> the specified "step"? > >> > >> I mean, what if I feed a 300-sec-step > >> database at 60-sec intervals? > >> > >> Please advise. > >> > >> Thanks, > >> Everton > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> rrd-users mailing list > >> [email protected] > >> https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users > >> > >> > > > > _______________________________________________ > rrd-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users > > -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten http://it.oetiker.ch [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++41 62 213 9902 _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
