[mrtg] Re: can i keep more data

[Bishop, Dean]

 so, just to ensure that my lack of understanding is complete, would the
correct entry to get all rrd's (day,week,bi-month,bi-year) to include 5
minute data be:

(#ofintervalsinaday + #ofintervalsinaweek + #ofintervalsin2months +
#ofintervalsin2years)=
(12*24 + 12*24*7 + 12*24*61 + 12*24*365*2)=
(288 + 2016 + 17568 + 210240)=230112


??

thanks for your patience,
dean

from reference.pod

head2 RRDRowCount

This affects the creation of new rrd files. By default rrds are created
to
hold about 1 days worth of high resolution data. (plus 1 week of 30
minute
data, 2 month of 2 hour data and 2 years of 1 day data).  Whith this
Keyword
you can change the number of base interval entries configured for new
rrds
as they get created. Note that you must take the interval time into
account.

Example:

RRDRowCount[ezwf]: 1600
