<DIV>Because trying to maintain one file is a huge PITA.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've been running RRDTool for almost 9 years now, and </DIV>
<DIV>I've found that the best way to do it is to create a config </DIV>
<DIV>file for each device. I'm sure there are other ways, </DIV>
<DIV>but with this method, you can have a very manageable </DIV>
<DIV>master config file, and when a device changes, you </DIV>
<DIV>just create an individual configs with an "Include" </DIV>
<DIV>statement for each in the master.</DIV>
