[mrtg] Re: problems importing data into rrd

[mark rowlands]

sorry should have said ....not using mrtg, this is a perl -> rrd job
requires multiple values on single graph....


>> When I attempt :
>> rrdtool update /spare/monscripts/rrd/sites.rrd 9862656:2.77777777
>> 
>> rrdtool informs me (correctly) that this update is from before the last 
>> update...How do I do disable this behaviour?

So create an rrd....feed it a bogus initial value from after the value of 
the last update and then feed it data in chronological order? (just asking
before i hack my lovingly crafted scripts to bits  :-)


cheers,
