I suggest you take a deep breath and dive into the RRDtool documentation. I think you don't even need the XML files. You can inject your data directly into a rrd file using rrdupdate: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdupdate.en.html That's my suggestion for live data. For historical data, you are on the right track with an xml file and rrdrestore: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdrestore.en.html -- Amedee Van Gasse -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
