<DIV>Thanks a lot Martin,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>based from the calculations you provided below and compared to my numbers, It seems mrtg creates 4 slices automatically daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. so we are fine regarding rotation. Thanks a lot for your help ... appreciated!!!<BR> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>Nabil

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=062231410-01032007>You have set the rotation interval by defining the rrdfile. I could try and explain it here but the website http://<A href="http://www.rrdtool.org/" target=_blank rel=nofollow>www.rrdtool.org</A> does a much better job at it. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=062231410-01032007>Just look for the RRA definitions, you will have one or more lines like these:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I configured mrtg to log to rrd database and i am generating graphs succesfully.</DIV>
<DIV>however i read that the database will be rotated automatically... how can we set the rotation interval? is it time based or related to the database size?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV><BR><BR>Nabil
