<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Hi,</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">This is related to rrdcached STATS and the fields and more or less directed at the authors of rrdcached.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">When ever I look at the stats, I always have a notion about DataSetsWritten and UpdatesWritten. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I seem to understand that given the number of updates being collected and cached by rrdcached,at the same time being aggregated into collective sets for batch updates of values to a given <span class="" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">rrd</span>, is not it that the UpdatesWritten field should be used in place of DataSetsWritten instead and DataSetsWritten be used in place of UpdatesWritten ?</div>
