[rrd-developers] Re: opposite of unknaszero

[Tobias Oetiker]

Today you sent me mail regarding [rrd-developers] opposite of unknaszero:

*> Hi!
*> 
*> [I'm not sure if rrd-developers is the right place but I think I'll reach
*>  the right persons and there is more traffic on rrd-users ;-)  ]
*> 
*> Some time ago there was a thread about how get the "unknaszero" semantics
*> with rrdtool (to stack some values). Now I wonder if I could get the
*> "opposite" behaviour as known from mrtg. I'll explain:
*> 
*> The goal:
*> mrtg repeats the last value from the log for following unknown values. You

*> with 14all (btw: thx alex for promoting it so much ;-) I would like to get
*> the first behaviour too (the second is trivial with rrdtool).
*> 
*> The problem:
*> I don't know a way to do this with rrdtool.
*> I didn't found an option like "unknaslast" ...
*> I wanted to try "ds0,UN,last(ds0),ds0,IF" but there's no such function.

there is a function in the fix patch to 1.0.7 which lets you access the
previouse value of an datasource ... will be properly released in 1.0.8

cheers
