[mrtg] Re: mrtgsql - a MRTG to SQL logging and reporting tool

[Marc Bilodeau]

Good question tobi, at Somix our denika/webnm products write the polled data
to both the RRD files and the MySQL back-end. We believe that users should
have a quick reference for daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly data. However,
if the user needs to create a report based on 5 minute samples between 8am
and 5pm for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday on the week of October 23 they can
with the stored data. Some would argue by increasing the amount of data that
can be stored in the rrd file would do the trick. However, many other tools
out there can take advantage of the database via ODBC or a direct
connection.

Sincerely,
Marc

I wondr though, why you would want to write the data into a log or rrd file
first instead of punishing your database server with it right away ... ?
