[rrd-users] How to save and graph NON-averages

[Sam Howard]

Hi.

I'm trying to create some very simple graphs of our backup totals (i.e.
bytes backed up per night), but I can't seem to get RRD to NOT average out
the values...

For example, I am creating my database as:

rrdtool create nsr.rrd          \
  --start '07/01/2000'          \
  --step 86400                  \
  DS:incrbytes:GAUGE:86400:U:U  \
  DS:fullbytes:GAUGE:86400:U:U  \
  RRA:LAST:0.5:1:1000

Inserting data as:

+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 967392000:77736128:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 967478400:0:1447213300
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 967564800:82966956:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 967651200:82854788:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 967737600:85980780:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 967824000:82145196:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 967910400:84906284:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 967996800:87452232:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 968083200:0:2072246836
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 968169600:91832416:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 968256000:94382272:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 968342400:97148568:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 968428800:99938304:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 968515200:102504828:0
+ rrdtool update nsr.rrd 968601600:100375604:0

but when I view what actually gets stored in the database, the values are
still averaged:

I've tried GAUGE and ABSOLUTE, MAX and LAST, but I can't seem to get it to
stop averaging!!???

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Sam
