Hi Alan, That sounds right to me.
You can specify the starttime of the rrd-file when you create it, like: rrdtool create $rrdFileName --start 1325372400 --step 300 ..and all the rest... Hopefully that solves your problem. RRD needs to fill in all the values from start until your first value - so creating a file long before your first value will probably be slow on the first update. But that can easily be detected and adjusted I assume. Good luck! /Johan ________________________________________ From: rrd-users <[email protected]> on behalf of Alan McKay <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 22:09 To: rrd-users Subject: Re: [rrd-users] Can I stuff an RRD with data after-the-fact? I think my basic problem is that when I create the RRD it must put in a "last update time" of the time of creation. Then all my datapoints are basically before that time.
