Hi guys,
I just started to explore rrdtool, but even though I've read through the documentation I'm having a hard time to understand the tool. I tried several ways to graph things I want, but so far I haven't even come close.
I hope one of the forum members here can be of some assistance to help me get started.
The case is that I have 2 year's fixed data which I want to see in a graph, based on a daily view. While my system information is gathered every day, the data should be updated each 86400 seconds.
I want to graph this for the total response time accompanied by cpu and db times. The values are measured in milliseconds.
I figured creating an rrd for this, like this:
rrdtool create target.rrd \
--start 1023654125 \
--step 86400 \
DS:total:GAUGE:600:0:2500 \
DS:cpu:GAUGE:600:0:2500 \
DS:db:GAUGE:600:0:2500 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:24 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:31
In included the RRA entries from an example, but already here I'm stuck. I just don't know what to do with this.
What I assume to know is that the update works like this:
rrdtool update target.rrd <timestamp+86400>:1000:100:40 <timestamp+86400>:1100:260:50 <timestamp+86400>:964:75:38
And I totally haven't figured out the graphing function yet, while I first want to understand this full part.
Any hints are welcome.
If I wasn't clear about what I want, please do ask.
Thanks,
Nick.
