For historical reasons and trying to be as efficient as possible i plan to create separate RRD databases per month. This will allow me to keep a customers data for as long as the customer exists. We generally don't generate graphs for longer than 1 month (normally 1 Hour, 24 Hour, 7 Day, 1 Month) graphs. However there's a possibility that i may want to generate a graph longer than 1 month. I'm thinking this wont be a problem because i can just tell rrdgraph to combine each rrd to generate the length i need ( chances of me needing to do this is slim ). I do however want to possibly generate graphs for the last 30 days of data which if I'm into the middle of a month would mean that i would need to span two RRD files. Does anybody for see any problems with this?
Now for the RRA's. I'm trying to figure out what would be best RRA's to use. Originally i used the following options DS:ds0:COUNTER:600:0:U DS:ds1:COUNTER:600:0:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600 RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 I'm not so sure i need the MAX rra's. My graphs are pretty simple, the legend shows the min, max, and last value but the graph only shows the average. Also the rows I'm not sure what i should do. Should i keep what i have and chop them all down to 31 days? Thanks in advance. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
