Hi,

I am new to wonderful RRD world, and got confused by the question: 


Let's say my rrd file's time step is set 300 seconds, but my sample script 
sends data every 60 seconds and update the rrd file 5 times (300/60) in each 60 
seconds interval. What the final data will show up in the rrd file?

I got bothered by the question, and tried to simulate the case but got even 
more confused.

 It turns out that if I run rrdtool update <file>  time1:value1 time2:value2 
.... time5:value5 in one command, then I got a average of the 5 values (GAUGE 
type variable for simplicity), but if I run 5 'rrdtool update <time:value>' at 
each interval, then the value is of no rules to follow. 


Any experienced please shed a light here. Thanks a lot.

Thanks.
--David
