[rrd-users] Re: How do I print totals

[Clarence Hart]

Alex & Owen  -->  Thanks for answering my request for help...


Owen, I've tried the :
"CDEF:totalP=PREV,PREV,0,IF,FromDEF,1800,*,+"

and it still returns NaN.  This really looks like it should work.
Is there some way to print out the values in debug mode to see
what the heck the engine is doing to the variables involved?

There has to be some way to hold a PREVIOUS value and re-add it 
to the new DEF value.  damn....




I was thinking I could access the rrd file before drawing the graph to get the 
total but its alittle inefficient.

This would work in perl to display all datapoints and a SUM.
--------------
 foreach $databases (@database) {
                $foobar="${databases}/1.rrd";

 my ($start,$step,$names,$data) = RRDs::fetch $foobar , "AVERAGE", "-s 
$starttime", "-e $endtime";
       print "<p ID=hdr>Start:       ", scalar localtime($start), " 
($start)<br>\n";
       print "Step size:   $step seconds<br>\n";
       print "DS names:    ", join (", ", @$names)."<br>\n";
       print "Data points: ", $#$data + 1, "<br>\n";
       print "Data: <br>\n";
       foreach my $line (@$data) {
         print "  ", scalar localtime($start), " ($start) ";
         $start += $step;
         foreach my $val (@$line) {
           printf  "%12.1f  ", $val*1800;
                $tP += $val*1800;		# <---- Add running total here
           printf "%12.1f ", $tP;		# <---- Print it here
         }
         print "<br>\n";
       }
         print "</p>\n";
   }
