Hi, my application is readouts from current meters; my intent was to draw a vertical line each full hour or each full day, obviously there may be many vlines in one graph.
So I was looking in the web to learn how I could make use of time-variables and found this post; that seemed to be the solution. Here is an excerpt from my script: ... COMMENT:" graph made: $(/bin/date "+%d.%m.%Y %H\:%M\:%S")" \ ... (this works) VRULE:%H#FF0000:"xxx" ... and I get this: ERROR: parameter '%H' does not represent time in line VRULE:%H#FF0000:xxx What is the problem here? Further to the annotation of lines and points in this discussion, I would like to do these things: a) have the above "xxx" in the vertical line(s); (like --------- xxx -------, if it was horizontal); the xxx represents meter values, so the legend is not really the place and also I would have Gabriel´s problem of many legend entries as well. b) read "xxx" in from an hourly RRA, so I would need a variable too for this; c) annotate events (which I also want to store in the RRA); events are "text" such as "heater on" at a certain time, so I want to store this text also in the RRA. However, events are random by nature, using the time slotting of the RRA is not useful. So I would need a pseudo RRA with no interpolation, averaging etc. d) the overlay approach I do not like and of course I could store the events in a separate DB, but we do want to improve RRDtool, don´t we? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/VRULE-Thickness-and-Legend-Throttling-tp4770729p4895574.html Sent from the RRDtool Users Mailinglist mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
