[rrd-users] Damn,...

[Bryce as root]

Recently, one of our boxes went berserk and I have atypical data in the rrd
As this data is way out of whack I now wish to 'flatten' the event to something
much more sensible.

What I want to do it overwrite the data at that point in time with other values
and below I show what I'm up to,.. 
first off, the atypical data, followed by the attempt to modify the rrd in the past

The only other way I can think of doing this is to write out the rrd as a .xml,
pour sed through it, hoping that it doesn't stomp on anything else, and convert
the xml back to an rrd before the next update to the rrd

Am I overlooking something?
