Thanx alot Amedee, I just wanted to say that currently im working with the historical data conversion only so I'll be using the xml method and not the rrdupdate (as you suggested).Time is a critical factor because historical data needs to be converted at run time .
You suggest I use the xml method for historical data. I believe you suggest xml method because it will take longer to use rrdupdate instead, correct? > >> hi all, >> I need to convert historical PingER data into Smokeping (RRDTool) data >> in >> order to plot it using Smokeping. >> PingER is also a network monitoring tool and has enough information >> (timestamps for each probe of x number of pings it sends, the round trip >> times of each ping, and also the pachet loss), that the Smokeping >> Database >> needs in order to plot graphs.
