Hi,
We have an annoying problem. We have a tool that runs daily that does "network discovery" of net devices and creates .rrd automatically based on this. However, as this runs on crontab, we have now end up with a situation where a lot of .rrd files (thousands) where created at the same time of the day. The result is that the "data aggregation" process of all these .rrd files start at roughly the same time; and this causes disk IO congestion. OK, we have now taken steps to run the script at different times; but the problem is now "what to do with all the files we now have". What would be the best way to deal with this? The only thing I can think of to do a "rrdtool dump" of the files, run a perl-script to modify the time-stamps in the text-file (e.g. move all "every 24h" stats up by one hour) and then recreate a binary .rrd files based on that. Is this a feasable option? (it's not easy, but it's scriptable). Are the timestamps in the "every 24 hours" stats related to the timestamps of (say) the "every 2 hours" stats? Cheerio! Kr. Bonne. _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
