<div class=Section1>

<p class=MsoNormal>I have a RRD (step 300 secs) &#8211; and one RRA (12 PDP per
row). It&#8217;s a GAUGE (min 0, max 60000).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>If I update this DS *<b>much</b>* more often than 300 secs
what effect will that have &#8211; eg maybe every 20-30 secs. Will RRD &#8220;sort
it out&#8221;?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Reason is that although I&#8217;m only wanting 5 min
resolution on the DS &#8211; the data provider produces output every 20-30
seconds and *<b>stopping</b>* it doing that is tricky.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Apologies if this is a FAQ &#8211; I did do a bit of trawl
through the archives but nothing found.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Many thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
