Okay, thanks.

Then to fix the problem with the heartbeat and step value in MRTG for
non-5 minute intervals, would the following code revision be sufficient:

    if (! -e $rrd) {
          # create the rrd if it doesn't exist
          my $now = time;
          my $intrvl = $$cfg{'interval'};
          my $hrtbt = $intrvl+300;
          $now = ($now / $intrvl) * intrvl;
          RRDs::create($rrd, '-b', $now, '-s', $intrvl,
                  "DS:ds0:$up_abs:$hrtbt:U:U",
                  "DS:ds1:$up_abs:$hrtbt:U:U",
                  "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600",
                  "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:600", 
                  "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:600",
                  "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:732",
                  "RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600",
                  "RRA:MAX:0.5:6:600",
                  "RRA:MAX:0.5:24:600",
                  "RRA:MAX:0.5:288:732");
          my $e = $RRDs::error;
          die "Cannot create logfile: $e\n" if $e;
