Re: [smokeping-users] Changing Steps of a Probe

[Peter Kristolaitis]

It IS possible to 're-aggregate' the data from the old file into the new file if you write a custom script to do it. By its nature, it's not a perfect transfer (e.g. if you had steps=12 before and you have steps=20 now, and you have a sample that had 1 lost packet, do you scale up to 2 lost packets or down to 1 in the new data? Both results skew your percentages. Plus, for the older samples, you're aggregating an aggregate, which itself loses accuracy...) but at least it gives you SOME kind of historical basis.

This approach can also be a significant amount of work as (AFAIK) no one has released a ready-made script to do it. I've never been attached to my history enough to bother, and I try not to change my database settings after it's running anyways. If you're really, really tied to your history and want to put the work into it, it is possible, however.

Hello,

You could just back up the data, but I don't believe it has any raw data, just RRD files, which you would have to generate the graphs for yourself. On Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 9:43 PM, Stefano Pirrello <spirre...@gmail.com <mailto:spirre...@gmail.com>> wrote:

    Hi,

    If I make a change to the "steps" of a probe, is there a way to save
    and reference historical information?  I know when you change the step
    value, you have to delete the data as it doesn't match up with the
    historical information.

    Thanks,
    Stefano
