Short answer is no - RRDTool is good, but it  is not psychic.  It cannot create 
information out of thin air!  If you have only supplied per-hour data, then it 
cannot provide accurate per-minute data.  If you ask for per-minute data, it 
will give you the best it can - even if this means a single per-hour sample.

What you *can* do, is to request a graph for a small time window, and the best 
data available will be used.  This might result in a very blocky graph if the 
required and available intervals differ greatly!

For 'fetch' and 'graph', RRDTool always attempts to do the best it can using 
the available data.  If you haven't given it adequate data, you won't get a 
very good result, as with any system.

Subject: [rrd-users] retrieving lower level information from defined higher 
level archieves

Hi,

I have rrd file with weather day captured  per day, per month. Suppose I want 
to find out weather condition for minute, is it possible to do that from given 
rrd graph?

To be precise, currently my RRD file has RRA defined for  per day , per month. 
Without adding new RRA which corresponds to per hour or per minute, can I 
retrieve data using currently available information (per month, per day) ?

JJ
