The RRD graphs aren't all that accurate. Looking at mine the 1 month
graph shows 6.52GB in and the 6 month graph shows less usage at 6.48GB
in. Not sure why this happens, but its repeatable. Happens more when you
transfer large amounts of data quickly. I'll notice the 16 hour graph
won't sure near that amount of transferred data that the 4 hour graph
shows.

Subject: [pfSense Support] Ways to measure usage

Hi everyone,

My satellite provider has bandwidth usage restrictions.  As I
understand, I'm limited to 30 gigabits total up and down usage per 30
day period.  According to my provider, I recently hit this restriction,
but my WAN RRD graphs don't agree with the provider's figures.  My
knowledge of RRDTool is rudimentary at best.  So, I'm looking for
suggestions on how to accomplish 2 things:

1.  I'd like to access/view the raw data that the RRD graphs are based
on.  So far, the best way I found was to run the command "rrdtool dump
/var/db/rrd/wan-traffic.rrd", then look for the appropriate section of
the XML output.  Is there a better way to get the info I'm looking for?

2.  If possible, I'd like to create an RRD graph that can display how
much data I have transferred over the past 30 days.  Is this possible?

Thanks,

Jon Wanak
