[Ripul Gupta]

 Hello everybody.

 I am using the RRD tool for one of my projects.
 The problem I am facing is in the RRA rules.
 
 I am following the manpage of RRD to specify my RRA  
 rules. In particular I am specifying my rules on the 

 same lines as this example(given in the man page)

 rrdtool create myrouter.rrd         \
            DS:input:COUNTER:600:U:U   \
            DS:output:COUNTER:600:U:U  \
            RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600      \
            RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700      \
            RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775     \
            RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797    \
            RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600          \
            RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700          \
            RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775         \
            RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797

 

 The rra AVERAGE rule works fine.
 However , I have a problem with the MAX,MIN and LAST
 rules. Here is my doubt .

 "In the line RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600"

 What does the number 600 signify. I looked into the
 dump file under the 5 minute entries block and i  
 found 600 rows under MAX which had same  
 values as that of the rows under AVERAGE.
 But my requirement is that I want one maximum value
 ie maximum of all 5 minute averages.

 can anobody please help me with the syntax/meaning  
 of the MAX rra.
 
 Thanks in advace
