[rrd-users] Re: Collecting data at different intervals

Today you sent me mail regarding [rrd-users] Re: Collecting data at...:

you define the sampling time when setting up the RRD ... data
arival time is irrelevant as long as it is within some bounds
defined by the minimal-required-hearbeat argument

note that the update does not have to happen in real time ... you
can specify the time with the data ...
