While I was researching tSmoke, I came across several items which I think might help. However, none of them were a panacea. The each required some additional coding...
1) RRDTool distributions include PERL bindings (RRDs.ppm) which can be used to script functions like rrdfetch (to get data over a span of time from an RRD). Check the old website for documentation: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool-1.0.x/perlbind/index. html 2) RRDTool includes a feature called rrddump which dumps the information directly to an XML file. Excel will eat an XML file... your mileage on how useful this is may vary. Check the new website for documentation: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrddump.en.html 3) CPAN has a PERL module that will write out an Excel spreadsheet directly, Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and Spreadsheet:SimpleExcel: http://search.cpan.org/search?m=all&q=excel&s=11 In the end, I realized that I had access to the data in the PERL bindings and that PERL could add and subtract as well as Excel. So I used PERL to do the calculations and create an HTML file with an embedded table.

I know there are some RRD Tools, but I don't think they do what I want to do. Namely, export SmokePing Data to something like an Excel Spreadsheet. Any ideas if this is possible and, if so, how it can be done? -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
