[rrd-users] Re: date format for updates

[Tobias Oetiker]

Yesterday you sent me mail regarding [rrd-users] date format for updates:

*> 
*> Hi,
*> 
*> I am attempting to use RRD to plot some Bit Error Rate polls. Not having
*> a lot of luck despite having beaten my head against the wall for about
*> two days now. Am hoping someone out there will take pity on a newbie
*> 
*> I seem to be able to create an RRD using
*> 
*> rrdtool create ber.rrd --start 06/12/2000,13:11 -s 900
*> DS:a:ABSOLUTE:1800:U:U DS:b:ABSOLUTE:1800:U:U DS:c:ABSOLUTE:1800:U:U
*> DS:d:ABSOLUTE:1800:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:17280
*> 
*> 
*> however when I attempt to update it using
*> 
*> rrdtool update ber.rrd 06/12/2000,13:26:2.53E-08:4.92E-08:7.92E-08

the problem is that you are not giving a unix time (seconds since
1970) but some other format which rrdtool does not know about ... 

cheers

*> 
*> I get an error message complaining about the interval
*> 
*> yes there are only three values in the update, when I try to include
*> four values I get an error message complaining about trying to put in 5
*> values, trying to fix one thing at a time
