Hi, rrd-users, I have a super newbie question; I apologize if this is kind of lame. I am reading through the rrdcreate documentation and I am wondering if I might have found an error in the documentation or if I am understanding something wrong. Basically I am readin the following document;
http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdcreate.en.html In the first example section, I don't understand why the first archive says it stores the actual value. Perhaps this is just a mistake in the documentation. It reads; "A few archive areas are also defined. The first stores the temperatures supplied for 100 hours (1'200 * 300 seconds = 100 hours)." I am wondering; is this sentence missing the word "average" between "the" and "temperatures"? rrdtool create temperature.rrd --step 300 \ DS:temp:GAUGE:600:-273:5000 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 \ RRA:MIN:0.5:12:2400 \ RRA:MAX:0.5:12:2400 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:2400 Obviously I would not be emailing this list if I was not confused. Sorry I am a real newbie here. I guess I don't understand why you would have to keep more than one average. Is there only a single value stored in the RRA (archive)?
