You have to modify the RRD structure by changing the "*** Database
***" section of the config file. Refer to the docs here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_config.en.html">http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_config.en.html</a> <br>
<br>
The specific settings you need to achieve 6 months of history will
depend on your 'step' value. There's a bit of math involved, but
it's not too hard to figure out (number of seconds in 6 months
divided by your step value).<br>
<br>
The file size of RRD files is static once the file is created -- the
file size is directly related to how many rows you store in the RRD
files, and that varies with the amount of history and the levels of
aggregation you set up.<br>
<br>
Note that if you're reconfiguring the RRD files, you'll have to
delete all of the existing ones (losing the historical data in the
process) unless you're willing to manually reconfigure all of the
existing files... Smokeping won't update this automatically. It's
possible to port the existing data over to the new configuration,
but it's a bit of work.<br>

6 months? <br>
<br>
Any estimates on database size and growth patterns with that
length of history?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Matt<br>
