Solved, or worked around at least. I got the script working by changing two things, firstly the data I export to file in the export step I changed from $create to @create, secondly on the import side I dumped the use of the perl module RRDs cos I couldnt figure out how to feed the create options into it properly, and instead put in back quotes the unix command `rrdtool create "$dir/$basename" @create`;
The arguements I am passing from @create are like: --step 300 DS:ups_load_output2:GAUGE:600:0:100 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:500 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:26280 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 RRA:MIN:0.5:6:700 RRA:MIN:0.5:24:775 RRA:MIN:0.5:1:26280 RRA:MIN:0.5:288:797 RRA:MAX:0.5:1:500 RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 RRA:MAX:0.5:1:26280 RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 RRA:LAST:0.5:6:700 RRA:LAST:0.5:24:775 RRA:LAST:0.5:1:26280 RRA:LAST:0.5:288:797 If anyone can tell me how to correctly pass this to RRDs::create Id be interested to know, but I do already have a working script :) thanks Andy. _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
