I'm new to this absolute gem open source marvel aka as 'RRD'. Im working on centralized log management software called OCTOPUSSY. It uses rrd at the background to display dynamic graphs which gets updated after like 5 seconds.
For each syslog source device; there is a .rrd file associated with it for e.g device_name.rrd. The problem is that i want to add new set of datasources into the rrd file. The graph goes something like this http://rrd-mailinglists.937164.n2.nabble.com/file/n6234739/taxonomy_Octopussy_hourly.png As you can see a long list of legends added in the file. All these values changes in response to number of logs the server received in a certain amount of times. So the values are not static at all. I like to add another item in the list e.g Attack.Spoofing...i tried to do this by exporting the rrd file using the dump command and opening it ....i added a new data-source as following Attack.Spoofing GAUGE 120 0.0000000000e+00 NaN 0 NaN 0 I saved back the xml file and tried to restore using the restore feature using rrdtools. It won't let me because as it says there is some errror at line 679 and beyond. I know this is a trivial way of updating the rrd file ...i know there exists a more non-trivial and professional way of updating the rrd file but right now i don't know how because em new to this whole rrd magic. the exported rrd file.... http://rrd-mailinglists.937164.n2.nabble.com/file/n6234739/test6.xml test6.xml -- View this message in context: http://rrd-mailinglists.937164.n2.nabble.com/updating-rrd-file-in-context-of-OCTOPUSSY-tp6234739p6234739.html Sent from the RRDtool Users Mailinglist mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list rrd-users@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
