RRDtool works with "double" type of numbers. This means that the maximum value is probably never reached. I'm not sure if this is dependent on architecture and/or OS, but here's what I found as maximum: 1.79769313486231470e+308 It probably is dependent on the architecture, however it will be a very large number in any case. My C-referency guide tells me double ranges from 1.7E-308 to 1.7E+308 (I think this is wrong, they probably should say -(1.7E+308) to 1.7E+308). More important here is the resolution. The IEEE standard dictates at least 15 significant digits. Thus, there will be no difference between 1.79769313486231470e+308 and 1.79769313486231470e+308 +1 64-bit counters reach from -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807 and may therefore suffer from a loss in resolution when ***very*** high numbers are input. In practice however you will not encounter this limit.

You have to calculate "now" and "now-1d" in the front end. The results can be given to RRDtool. CDEF:t=NOW doesn't work (AFAIK) CDEF:t2=t,86400 won't work because of the previous error VRULE:t2#FF0000 won't work because t2 should be a number, not a var (this last thing is expected to change in the future).

You need to read more about RRDtool. "Of course different variable" tells that you don't understand how RRDtool works. An RRD is updated for all DSes (variables) at the same time. No exceptions.

Let suppose the following scenario: You are collecting data that are related to each other with different methods (for the simplicity 2 different measuring methods for 2 different metric). You start to collect them in the same time, but both takes a long time, let suppose between 30-90 seconds. You want to store the measured data as soon as possible, and you can do it with specifying the template for the DS respectively. You are collecting the data for every 10 minutes, but you are only interested in the hourly average. > > An RRD is updated for all DSes (variables) at the same time. No > exceptions.

The locking mechanism is inside rrd_update.c The process that looses the battle will exit with an error if I'm not mistaking.

When filling the database up do you have to use "epoch" time from 1970? I checked out the man page on rrdtool fetch and it talked about how to specify AT-STYLE formatting. I would rather use many of the other formats like 20010609 to specify date and time rather than "epoch". But according to the documentation it says this: The time when the graph should begin. Time in seconds since epoch (1970-01-01) is required. Then it goes on to say other ways to specify time. So what exactly is required? Any information would greatly be appreciated.... Thanks....

The update program, which is used to store values into the database, needs the timestamp in the epoch format. As this is (usually) done from a program, it doesn't really matter. Perl knows how to provide this time, the GNU date program knows how, if you're programming a front end in C, there are functions to get it etcetera etcetera. Two examples: bash $ date +%s perl -e 'use POSIX;print time();' > But according to the documentation it says this: > > The time when the graph should begin. Time in seconds since epoch > (1970-01-01) is required. For both fetch and graph, you can specify the time in a more human readable form. The time string can therefore be generated from almost any source, such as a web form.

Of course, the file size will grow and you may hit an OS limitation ! RRAs are used to consolidate the data a collection time. This saves time and resources at graph time. If you create a lot of graphs and carefully design your RRAs, you may even use lesser resources in the end. OTOH, for setups that need virtually no graphing/fetching except once in a while and automated, it may be a waste to implement more than one RRA. For a RRA to be really effective, you need to create a graph that is querying for data in exactly the resolution this RRA contains. Example: if you create a graph with a size of 400 pixels, and the time span of this graph is 100 hours, each pixel represents exactly 15 minutes. In this case it is useful (but not necessary) to have a RRA that contains consolidated data in that resolution. If there is only a RRA with data in 300-second resolution, the data will be consolidated at graph time. The end result is the same, it is the moment when consolidating occurs. Of course, if you're never going to create this graph, it isn't useful at all to have this RRA and it is just a waste of resources.

You're going to run into other limits before you run into the hard RRA limit of 4294967295. Your .rrd file size, depending on your OS, has a maximum file size of 2 gigs. As to the performance.. I can *definately* say that each RRA adds that much more IO requirements. I have 10 RRA's in most of my .rrd files. I had to throw a lot of money at the RRD box in terms of disk spindles to stay with the company's policy on operating system choices. I am currently tracking 65000 values (most of those, per-minute), for a total of 650000 RRA's. I've had to toss two hardware raids at this (16 spindles for RRD, non-raid spindles for the OS etc). According to iostat, on *average* this hardware is about 45 %b. CPU on average is 50% idle, 25% IO wait, and 25% busy. Note, I only draw graphs on-demand. Before, when we ran some of the graphs always, we required a second e450 with a similiar disk configuration. I suggestion (strongly) that unless you have a compelling reason to generate static images.. don't. It'll burn away at your capacity very quickly. -- Unsubscribe mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=unsubscribe Help mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=help Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi From alex at slot.hollandcasino.nl Sat Jun 9 17:26:35 2001 From: alex at slot.hollandcasino.nl (Alex van den Bogaerdt) Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2001 17:26:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [rrd-users] Re: A beginners question In-Reply-To: from "Jason Fesler" at Jun 09, 2001 08:12:23 AM Message-ID: <200106091526.RAA21979@slot.hollandcasino.nl> Jason Fesler wrote: > As to the performance..

This of course depends highly on the details of your setup, however it is worth trying. If you don't create graphs often, most of the current disk IO is wasted. Also, if your graphs are not created with a resolution that is available in one of the RRAs, current disk IO is wasted. Maybe you can setup a test RRD with only one RRA. If you use this RRA to graph 400 days, rrdtool will need to consolidate 400 times 1440 CDPs into 400 pixels. However, you currently are doing the same spread out over time, even if you're not going to graph it. cheers, -- __________________________________________________________________ / alex at slot.hollandcasino.nl alex at ergens.op.het.net \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.

Currently I have 5 days at per-minute resolution. After that, it degrades. I'm also using min/max/average storage, which, in hindsight, is stupid (nobody is viewing anything but average). If I had a *good* way to clean these out I would :-). The XML dump process is too painfull. I should get around to marking off on my todo list the ds/rra adding in rrdtool itself [and at the same time, allow for ds/rra removing]. Perl scripts just aren't portable enough for more than one platform without lots of "use this pack string if you're on this OS" magic. > Maybe you can setup a test RRD with only one RRA.

However, you currently are doing the same > spread out over time, even if you're not going to graph it. The big problem, is that the data *is* refered to often - just not every minute or 10 or 20. Having one year-long per-minute storage of the data is *very* slow to graph long periods of time for, which some of the people here use to look at trends for given customers, clusters, etc. Doing graphs on demand was a *big* win performance wise - but I can't go so far as to make it tedious and long for the other users to make use of. I'll certainly try playing around with this again. Thank you for suggesting it. Even if it doesn't work out for me, it might work out for others - and the suggestion itself is certainly valid. -- Unsubscribe mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=unsubscribe Help mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=help Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi From HurricaneIndy at aol.com Sat Jun 9 18:05:48 2001 From: HurricaneIndy at aol.com (HurricaneIndy at aol.com) Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2001 12:05:48 EDT Subject: [rrd-users] Values Confusion Part 2 Message-ID: <110.c5a51f.2853a35c@aol.com> Ok I resolved my first question about "0.04" But I have ran this tutorial 3 times now and I am not getting the number the tutorial is giving me.

I did send in a patch but it didn't make it in the latest release. 4.0000000e-02 just means 4 times 10 to the power -2 which is 4 times 0.01 which is 0.04 For people not used to scientific notation: Just shift the decimal point when you see numbers like this. For negative numbers go left, for positive numbers go right. 4.0e-02 means 0.04 (decimal point is shifted left by two) 4.0e-01 means 0.4 (decimal point is shifted left by one) 4.0e+00 means 4 (decimal point is not shifted) 4.0e+01 means 40 (decimal point is shifted right by one) 4.0e+02 means 400 (decimal point is shifted right by two) etcetera.

I'm assuming that the perl package that came with Solaris.

Try changing the CC line in the Makefile in perl-shared/ to gcc and see what happens. Otherwise, you'll need to buy the Sun C compiler (not cheap) or recompile perl with gcc. * Philip Molter * DataFoundry.net * http://www.datafoundry.net/ * philip at datafoundry.net -- Unsubscribe mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=unsubscribe Help mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=help Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi From romain.bourgue at SecurityKeepers.com Mon Jun 11 16:59:13 2001 From: romain.bourgue at SecurityKeepers.com (Romain Bourgue) Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 16:59:13 +0200 Subject: [rrd-users] HRULE Conditional drawing Message-ID: <3B24DCC1.23F01260@SecurityKeepers.com> Hi, I'd like to know if there is a way to put a condition on the drawing of a HRULE...

I would rather not use Cricket or other tools already in development only because I really want to understand this thoroughly first..... I am currently using MRTG 2.9.15 and rrdtool-1.0.33. I want to use MRTG to poll routers, dump the info into rrdtools database and then graph the results. I added the correct paths to the config file like so: "WorkDir: /usr/apache/htdocs/graph01/$DOMAIN \n" . "ThreshDir: /usr/apache/htdocs/graph01/$DOMAIN/threshold \n" . "Options[_]:growright,bits \n" . "RunAsDaemon:Yes \n" . "Interval:5 \n" . "Forks:4 \n" . "LibAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool1.0.33/lib/perl \n" . "PathAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/bin/ \n" . "LogFormat: rrdtool \n"; Don't mind some of the extra gibberish in there, I am building all this in PHP and hopefully be able to give back to this open source community with a PHP script when all is down and presentable. But anyways my main question is, I seem to be a bit unclear even after reading the tutorials and what-not how to accomplish this. I seem to have everything working seperately but not as a whole.... I looked at the 14all.cgi script and I know that builds the HTML and Graphs but not sure how that exactly works with rrdtool and MRTG... So I know this is long and if I missed anything crucial to help troubleshoot this just ask away and I will fill in the gap... Thanks all...

This case is different than your HP case. The problem is that Jimmy cannot run cc at all. The error message is: "/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed". So the best thing is to use gcc after all ( that he already has installed ). Furthermore, it is ( as far as I understand ) a policy of Sun to deliver Solaris systems without any C-compiler, or without that "optional software package" mentioned above. Most other develop- ment directorys and librarys are there though, its just for the user/sysadmin/whoever to download the compiler. In most cases, that will be gcc. So I would strongly recommend that Jimmy tries again, sets the CC variable to gcc in every Makefile, and builds all his software packages with gcc, including Perl.

I created a database similar to one in the tutorial: rrdtool create mail.rrd DS:input: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 I started a script to update it regularly (it was planned to be every 5 mins, but I ran it every minute just to try and fill up the DB.) Its been updated via: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/bin/rrdtool update mail.rrd N:613 (many similar ones - the mailq has always been 600-650 mails during this time.) But when I do a rrdtool fetch mail.rrd AVERAGE to see what's in there, I get: ... 992371800: NaN 992372100: NaN 992372400: 4.5449389354e+07 992372700: 2.8633115300e+07 992373000: 4.2707019434e+07 992373300: 2.8875768826e+07 992373600: 2.8394506023e+07 992373900: NaN a. Those numbers don't look anything like 600 or so, and b. They always display in scientific notation.

Yes. CDEF:G=D,12000000,0,IF \ LINE3:G#FF0000:Threshold level will do the trick. This is probably a dumb way to do it but it works :) Will create a thick red line at 100000.

Nett result is Incoming. You want something like: DEF:Incoming1=/Inetpub/wwwroot/mrtg/example.rrd:ds0:MAX DEF:Outgoing1=/Inetpub/wwwroot/mrtg/example.rrd:ds1:MAX CDEF:Incoming=Incoming1,-8,* CDEF:Outgoing=Outgoing1,8,* CDEF:OK=Incoming,-6000,LT,Incoming,UNKN,IF Now OK is defined only if Incoming < -6000. AREA:Incoming#00ff00 AREA:OK#000000:"OK" This will paint Incoming and then paint it over with OK. However, if Incoming is not high enough, there's no OK to paint.

It is not possible with rrdtool fetch. I don't know why you would like to use rrdtool fetch for this? If there is no problem with using rrdtool info, use that.

This also applies to your case and cannot be switched off as it is the way RRDtool works. Also have a look at Consolidation. If you want an ordinary database where numbers come out like they got in, use an ordinary database and not RRDtool. By the way: When reading the tutorial you'll find that something has changed in RRDtool and not yet in the tutorial. Numbers displayed by "rrdtool fetch" is now in scientific notation whereas they are written down as normal numbers in the tutorial. cheers, -- __________________________________________________________________ / alex at slot.hollandcasino.nl alex at ergens.op.het.net \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.

The best RRA will be chosen automatically, now you only need to know what defines "best" :) In stead of trying to explain it, I'll be lazy and assume you know C. Please look at the source, file rrd_fetch.c, function rrd_fetch_fn Feel free to ask again if you don't know any C. I'll try and explain. Before you do so however, try playing with "rrdtool fetch" a bit, in particular try changing the end time to be on an exact multiple of stepsize times steps. cheers -- __________________________________________________________________ / alex at slot.hollandcasino.nl alex at ergens.op.het.net \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.

Uhm, But, my rrd seems to "discard" evertyhtong older then 24 hours, why is that? Output of "info" below. if i then use a graph of all the date i have, it seems "cut" at "present time - 24 hours"?

No, it is not (yet) supported. Many people have suggested it and it wouldn't surprise me if such a feature will make it into a next release.

If yes: what was difficult to understand ? Anyway, divide the problem in smaller portions: x1 = (A+B-C) x2 = (A+B) result = x1 / x2 divide x1 further: xx1 = A + B result = xx1 - C Paste everything into RPN: A,B,+,C,-,A,B,+,/ Sanity check, by following the same rules as RRDtool does: Complete line: CDEF:result=A,B,+,C,-,A,B,+,/ stack after first calculation (A+B),C,-,A,B,+,/ stack after second calculation (A+B-C),A,B,+,/ stack after third calculation (A+B-C),(A+B),/ stack after fourth calculation (A+B-C)/(A+B) I didn't exactly test it but I don't think I made a mistake. Anyway, use at own risk (as always by the way).

I know this doesn't directly apply to RRD tool but I figure this is the best place to check. I am trying to convert the routers.cgi script to gauge the percentage of CPU utilization. I have created an MRTG config file using RRD tool and I have been able to display a graph using the routers.cgi script. The only problem is that the x axis is still labeled as bits per second (bandwidth) and the maximum value is set to 800 (bps). I will go ahead and include my config file but it's pretty standard. ### CPU Utilization >> Descr: '' | Name: '' | Ip: '' | Eth: '' ### Target[wvlanlx3_cpu]: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3.9&1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.4.9:public at wvlanlx3 MaxBytes[wvlanlx3_cpu]: 100 WithPeak[wvlanlx3_cpu]: ymw Options[wvlanlx3_cpu]: growright, gauge Title[wvlanlx3_cpu]: wvlanlx3_CPU YLegend[wvlanlx3_cpu]: Percent ShortLegend[wvlanlx3_cpu]: % PageTop[wvlanlx3_cpu]:

CPU Util of the router

What do I need to change in the routers.cgi config to gauge the utilization correctly? I'm sure someone out there has done this before. Please help!!

Any step size is allowed as long as it is a multiple of 1 second. The start and end times of each interval will be n*stepsize, with n being an integer and n*stepsize the unix time-since-epoch time. So yes: you can have bins that start and end every minute on the minute. and no: you cannot have bins that start and end at arbitrary times. To see if your desired configuration can be made reality you need to convert the wall clock time into seconds since the epoch and try to integer divide that by the step size. If there is no remainder, it will work. cheers, -- __________________________________________________________________ / alex at slot.hollandcasino.nl alex at ergens.op.het.net \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.

MRTG should automatically convert its log file to a RRD. I'm not sure if the maximum counter will also be converted but it's easy to try and the log files shouldn't be destroyed. Make a backup anyway before you start, enter the RRDtool magic in the config file, run MRTG, remove the RRDtool magic again and start testing the generated RRD. While you're doing this MRTG will continue logging the old way. After testing, rename or delete the RRD. Keeping the maximum for each day is a bit hard to do. But then again, you can't to this with MRTG either. Both MRTG and RRDtool work with UTC time and there is no time zone in the world that I know of, including the UK, that works with UTC time and no daylight saving. If you can live with keeping the stats per 24 hours, not 00:00 - 24:00, the default is to keep over 2 years of information. If this is not enough you can alter the size of the RRAs involved using "rrdtool resize".

This is available now from http://www.sins.com.au/nmis/. NMIS is a full featured RRDTool front and backend. More information: * NMIS features are http://www.sins.com.au/nmis/nmis-features.html * The latest changes are in http://www.sins.com.au/nmis/nmis-changes.html * The new help file is http://www.sins.com.au/nmis/nmis-help.html * The install info is http://www.sins.com.au/nmis/nmis-install.html There is more documentation available online and with the distribution. This version is looking pretty good, including LOTS of fixes and updates from user group, like config checking and Apache configuration generation. Please make sure you look through changes and check the nmis-sample.conf for new configuration items. The 2.00 version will stand, meaning no new features will be added to 2.00 only patches, ie 2.01 would be the next release. Any new features will be added to another release number, like 2.1 or 3.0, unless functionality can be added with standalone scripts like metrics.pl. This would be an excellent way to enhance NMIS. Please upload fixes, patches, documentation, etc to the User Group web site http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nmis_users.

Sometimes in 2 minutes but sometimes it takes over 7 minutes. So updating the RRD database in constant intervalls is a bad idea. Too long intervalls (especially 15 minutes to ensure counter is at least one time updated) is not an option because i want the collected values as exect as possibly. So i read the counters every minute to be near real uptdate time. If i specify minimal values for an RRA, "unknown" (xff is 0.0) will be written to the database if counter ist not updated in this minute but i can't find the "best" "--step" value for rrdcreate. Too long steps gives a very step-stoned graph and too short "--steps" gives a graph going up and down.

I don't know if it is *the best* way of doing it but here's how I would approach the problem: 1) To prevent problems with timezones, I'd use a step time of 3600. This allows for updates at midnight local time in stead of midnight UTC time. 2) To prevent problems with the updating, I'd use a heartbeat of 172000. This allows for an update to occur anywhere during the next day, upto but not including the next regular update. 3) I'd then count the number of messages and virusses somewhere after midnight, no hurry. The update can be given to RRDtool as if it occured at midnight, just specify the correct timestamp. If you encountered other problems, let us know and we'll probably can help you with them; you need to be more specific about them if you want us to help... cheers, -- __________________________________________________________________ / alex at slot.hollandcasino.nl alex at ergens.op.het.net \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.

The question really is, why does rrd care when the start time > is? It just needs to know. The database is "steps" * "rows" intervals of "step size" seconds, starting at "start time". If you leave out the start time, it will default to "now" minus "steps" * "step size" * "rows". If you try and specify 0 as the start time and have, for instance, 600 rows of 300 seconds each, you are defining a database that covers januari 1st 1970, 00:00 UTC to januari 3rd 1970, 02:00 UTC. If you then start entering data at, for instance, june 21st, 00:00 UTC it takes a very long time for RRDtool to catch up. It needs to recalculate every single interval ("step size" * "rows"). > I've tried putting in other low numbers, such as 1, and still get the > same error. I guess I am trying to figure out if there is a more limited > range of dates that rrd can handle. There is. From the source: if (last_up < 3600*24*365*10){ rrd_set_error("the first entry to the RRD should be after 1980") This probably has been put in there because of the problem I described above. If people don't understand what's going on and are able to enter things like 20010621 (probably because they ment june 21st, 2001) much more confusion will happen.

References: Message-ID: <3B332EA7.48027B10@QEDux.co.za> Hi all, I am storing the number of calls routed through a network.

The effect is that the ds1 gets stored as the number of calls per second. I would prefer the number of calls per 5 minute sample (but that is another issue for another mail I guess:). At the end of every hour, I now want to report on the number of calls over the last hour, at then end of the day, the number of calls for the last day, etc. This calls per second thing really complicates matters. Also, since ds0 is not being stored as the exact reading (but rather and extrapolation), the calls per second ends up being a really long little number like 1.8567891234e-02. e.g. suppose when I read the variable, I get 196 calls. Then I read it again 5 mins later and get 202 calls, even though I read it after 303 seconds, I still want 202 calls recorded for this data point. So calls per second would be 202 - 196 / 300 = 0.02 calls per second. I can work this back to calls per 5 minutes and know that I will get an integer, not a float. How do I stop this interpolation from happening and mucking with my call counts? Thanks in advance.

Ok, I did some reading of what Alex said to spamfilter about the graph getting the 'best' resolution of data. I have managed to figure out most of what he had to say, but I still don't understand the pixels thing. I seem to get a stepped graph. This is not what I want, as it looks like data points are plotted 'between' by real data points. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to explain the finer points of the pixels in the grapher.

I think the best way to explain this is: RRDtool is not graphing points. RRDtool is graphing intervals. By the way, RRDtool isn't storing values on a certain time, RRDtool is storing rates over an interval. A plotted interval simply must be a whole number of pixels. If the interval size is large with respect to the total graph time, each interval will be plotted on more than one pixel. Example: your graph is 400 pixels wide. You are plotting a certain DS starting from 12:00 today until 13:00 today. This is 3600 seconds. If each interval is 90 seconds, RRDtool will plot 40 intervals and each interval will be shown on 10 pixels.

By default RRDtool will only show a relevant part of the y-axis. However, you can change the limits. If the auto-scaling shouldn't cut of the y-axis above 0, you should set "--lower-limit 0" This means: autoscaling shouldn't touch anything above 0. You can also set "--upper-limit 100" meaning autoscaling shouldn't touch anything below 100. cheers -- __________________________________________________________________ / alex at slot.hollandcasino.nl alex at ergens.op.het.net \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.

Not really. It is the combination of pixels and # of intervals that's important here. Width alone doesn't say much. An image with width 400 and only 4 intervals plotted looks quite different from an image with the same width of 400 pixels and 400 intervals on it. > Yup, thanx Alex. It does. Just wondering.

You could fool RRDtool into storing whole numbers. Just use an update time that is "compatible" with the step size. If your database has intervals of five minutes, update at hh:mm where mm is a multiple of five. Another approach would be having a step time of 1 second and a CF of something else than average. The RRA would still be 5 minutes (and thus have 300 PDPs per CDP). > 1) Graph the interval only as an interger (i.e. round it if necessary) Using CDEF. FLOOR and CEIL come in mind. To determine the closest whole number you currently have to do the magic yourself. Something like DEF:original=/path/to/database.rrd:calls:AVERAGE CDEF:rounded=original,0.5,+,FLOOR AREA:rounded#00CC00:"Number of calls per five minutes" > 2) Find out the actual value at the time of reading and graph this > instead. > > Currently, I take 1.6246828434e-02 * 300 and plot that.

Note that graphing telephone calls can be a real pain. Let's look at a few cases. As the real time is not important here I'll just use "T" and an offset to it. To avoid resampling problems in these examples, updates occur on interval-boundaries. a) One call is placed. It lasts 4 minutes, from T+30 to T+270. b) Two calls are placed. T+60 to T+180 and T+120 to T+240 During a measured interval either (a) or (b) happens, no other calls are placed. Data aquisition methods: 1) Poll the current number of active lines every 5 minutes 2) Poll the average number of active calls during the last 5 minutes 3) Process the call history, which should include time stamps. (a) combined with (1): You don't notice the call. The number of calls during that interval is 0. (b) combined with (1): You don't notice the calls. The number of calls during that interval is 0. Obviously this is not the best way to do it. In extreme situations you could even have 30 (or 24) calls on your PRI and never notice that all lines are busy. (a) combined with (2): You get 0.8 from the device. The number of calls during that interval is 0.8 and if you round this you get 1. (b) combined with (2): You get 0.8 from the device. The number of calls during that interval is 0.8 and if you round this you get 1. Rounding obviously gives wrong results. You do notice one call being placed but do not notice that two lines were busy. Again in extreme situations you could end up with all lines being busy without noticing. (a) combined with (3): You notice the call being setup and being cleared. Using both events you can show one call has been active during that interval, you can show the duration, you can show the amount of simultanious conversations is 1. (b) combined with (3): You notice both calls being setup and cleared. The MAX RRA shows two calls being placed (indicating the number of simultanious calls), the AVERAGE RRA shows 0.8 indicating the usage of the box (or, when multiplied with 300: the call time). This method is the most challenging one but it is also the only proper one. The RRD should probably be setup with a step time of 1 second per PDP, 300 steps per CDP, a heartbeat of 300 (or more). Every update to the RRD should indicate the number of active lines during the past period. If no event occurs, just repeat the number at the interval boundary. For instance, three calls. T+60 to T+270, T+120 to T+240, T+180 to T+360. The last update to the database has occured at T and was 0. The current number of lines in use was also 0 at that time. What to update: 1) T+60. A call is being setup. The number of calls during the previous time was 0. Update with 0 at T+60. 2) T+120. A call is being setup. The number of calls during the previous time was 1. Update with 1 at T+120. 3) T+180. A call is being setup. The number of calls during the previous time was 2. 4) T+240. A call is completed. The number of calls during the previous time was 3. 5) T+300. No event occured but we need to update anyway. The number of calls during the previous time was 2. Note that processing the log and feeding the numbers to RRDtool is front-end stuff. RRDtool is a back-end. If you would have an RRA with steps==1, the following drawing could be generated (please view with fixed width font): | | | ##### | ############### | #################### +-------------------------- | | | | | T+ 60 120 180 240 300 If you don't have such an RRA but still have a step time of 1, the values in the 5-minute RRA can be: AVERAGE: ( (4/5)+(3/5)+(1/5) ) /3 = 5.3333333e-01 MAX: 3 Using this, a CDEF can output 5.333333e-01 * 300 == 480 seconds of call during this interval. This is right: 4+3+1 minutes == 8 minutes. The maximum can be used to prove that there is enough capacity on your equipment. Whenever it is fully utilized (or at 80%, or whatever) you can use the CDEF magic as described in the manual and in the tutorial to signal the viewer using a different color. If you're only interested in the number of calls, not all of the above, this also is a front-end job. Just count the number of calls being placed and update it into an ABSOLUTE at time T+300. RRDtool will convert it to a rate. When you want to graph, just multiply the rate by any number of seconds you like. It doesn't matter what you choose, 300 or 3600. It even doesn't matter if consolidation has happened. However, there will always be cases where you end up with a fractional number: T+ 300: 5 calls --> rate 5/300==1.666666666e-2 T+ 600: 8 calls --> rate 8/300==2.666666666e-2 T+ 900: 11 calls --> rate 11/300==3.666666666e-2 T+1200: 3 calls --> rate 3/300==1.000000000e-2 T+1500: 0 calls --> rate 0/300==0.000000000e+0 T+1800: 0 calls --> rate 0/300==0.000000000e+0 Assuming an other RRA with a number of steps that is 6 times as large as the other RRA, this will be consolidated into: T+1800: rate == [previous rates summed and divided by 6] == 1.5000e-2 If you plot this number as number of calls per five minutes, you will end up with 300*0.015 == 4.5 calls per 5 minutes, this number is valid during the one interval from T to T+1800. You can also multiply by 3600 and get the number of calls per hour. This can also be done for the 5-minute intervals: T+ 300: 1.666666666e-2 --> 60 calls per hour T+ 600: 2.666666666e-2 --> 96 calls per hour T+ 900: 3.666666666e-2 --> 132 calls per hour T+1200: 1.000000000e-2 --> 36 calls per hour T+1500: 0.000000000e+0 --> 0 calls per hour T+1800: 0.000000000e+0 --> 0 calls per hour Consolidated: T+1800: 1.500000000e-2 --> 54 calls per hour. cheers, -- __________________________________________________________________ / alex at slot.hollandcasino.nl alex at ergens.op.het.net \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.

I tried to record the result from a program run every day. Initially I set both the STEP and HEARTBEAT to 86400. but if the program run slower sometime, I will lose data becuase HEARTBEAT is bigger than STEP at that time. Then I increase HEARTBEAT to make sure I do not lose data. But after this change I maybe include two PDPs in one HEARTBEAT, then RRD calculates the average for me automatically. Any idea how to make it right?

You can create a script that builds a RRDtool graph script. In this script you need 9 (or 7) VRULE commands. In a pseudo language you'd do: $midnight=`date -d "jun 30 00:00" +%s` for (i=0;i<9;i++) print "VRULE:${midnight}#FF0000" midnight -= 86400 or $midnight=`date -d "jun 30 00:00" +%s` $midnight -= 86400 for (i=0;i<7;i++) print "VRULE:${midnight}#FF0000" midnight -= 86400 This doesn't take daylight saving time into account so don't use this example as a complete solution! Another approach: You can change the default behaviour for the grid. Draw a major grid line only at midnight and maybe change its color. rrdtool graph .... --x-grid HOUR:8:DAY:1:DAY:1:86400:%a .... --color MGRID#FF0000 ....

My step size is 300 and my update time is every 5 mins, making the update and the step size the same. But I seem to be getting values that are not whole numbers, but floats. i.e. At time "T", I get a reading of 197 calls. at time T+300, I get 203 calls, T+600 I get 215 calls. Thus, as each interval, I get a whole number of calls per interval. This is what I want to store. Calls per hour then is simply a matter of summing 12 of these readings as I understand it. > > Another approach would be having a step time of 1 second and a CF > of something else than average.

To determine the closest whole This has the obvious disadvantage that rounding anything is incorrect.

Just count the number of > calls being placed and update it into an ABSOLUTE at time T+300. ABSOLUTE, I understand, assumes your counter gets reset after each reading. Mine does not, so I currently I keep the data as GAUGE. So I get calls=120, calls=125, calls=180 on each poll (300 secs in my instance) off the router. > T+ 300: 1.666666666e-2 --> 60 calls per hour > T+ 600: 2.666666666e-2 --> 96 calls per hour > T+ 900: 3.666666666e-2 --> 132 calls per hour > T+1200: 1.000000000e-2 --> 36 calls per hour > T+1500: 0.000000000e+0 --> 0 calls per hour > T+1800: 0.000000000e+0 --> 0 calls per hour This is not a true representation that I want to show, since these 'calls per hour' assume that the rate stays constant over the hour for this 5 minute sample. I would prefer to show 'real' calls per hour as in: T+300 = 5 calls T+600 = 12 calls T+900 = 6 calls T+1200 = 15 calls T+1500 = 9 calls .... Totals calls per hour was 69.

I am graphing CPU Usage on my server, and the range is between 5-25% CPU Usage, but it shows from 0.0 7.0M, and I want to show the data on a 0-100% range, with the CPU numbers showing properly on the graph. I tried doing the --upper 100 --rigid, but all that does is re-label the Y-Axis and the data plotting remains the same. Here is the config I'm using for storing the data: rrdtool create s05.rrd --start -400000 --step 600 DS:speed:COUNTER:601:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0:3:17568 ... I used 601 for I don't know what reason ... should it be something else. Also, how can I make the graph smoother? there are too many peaks and valleys, and the data doesn't flow smoothly like a graph.

I'm trying to use MRTG to monitor errors (CRC, dropped packets etc) on router interfaces. I've already submitted a large MRTG patch to Tobias which lets us have more than two data sets on a single graph using RRD as our backend; now we're in the process of tweaking RRD's output so our data is meaningful (and visible) and have come across a few issues with RRDtool. The first is the inability to graph decimals between 0..1 when using a logrithmic scale. Now, when an error occurs we want to be able to see both huge spikes and small bumps on the graph, so logorithms are the way to go. However, very small events (like a couple dropped packets) end up being reduced into small decimals by MRTG (which incorrectly assumes it is a rate, but that's another issue) and are not graphed because RRD doesn't understand negative logorithms when graphing. The second problem is that we're trying to graph changes in descrete values, but we're not concerned with the actual rates. For this, the "total" consolidation function makes the most sense, since we would like to know the actual total number of errors that occured. However, I gathered from the mailing list archives this feature was removed some time ago. Why was this done, and are there any patches floating around that might re-add the feature? Oh, I should mention that the man page for rrdtool still mentions that "total" is an available cosolidation function.

This is a biggie for us as well. We're trying to graph latency ping times using RRD, but big spikes (caused, for instance, by backups) completely destroy the more minor changes at lower ping times. It's not really logarithmic scaling that's being done so much as the actual log of the value appears to be calculated. For true logarithmic scaling, what really needs to happen is a minimal unit distance calculated from the 0 line, and then the log of the unit distances of the data points used to determine the scaling.

However, I found that I could only update the database at or after 8:00 a.m. everyday. Therefore, I extract the data from my database by "rrdtool fetch email.rrd AVERAGE" and I c the following: in out 993427200: 1.1333172454e+02 1.4733057870e+02 993513600: 2.0600000000e+02 3.0600000000e+02 In fact, 993427200 refers to "Mon Jun 25 08:00:00 2001" and 993513600 refers to "Tue Jun 26 08:00:00 2001".

RRDtool works with time slots that are based on the unix epoch. All times are numbers of seconds since this epoch. For an RRA with time slots of 86400 seconds, all times must, and will, be an interger multiple of 86400. If you want to update at midnight for your local time zone, you need to have an interval that ends at every possible midnight in your time zone. Think about daylight saving, currently you are eight hours behind but if daylight saving is not applied this will be seven hours. You need to be able to update at midnight during both differences. The largest possible interval for you is thus one hour. You can still update each 24 hours if you wish, no problem. Just make sure heartbeat is large enough. If you update each 24 hours and you have 1-hour time slots, 24 of them will be filled simultaniously.

Instead, they are executed as root in most cases, or as some normal "application user" ( who has been added to the system ). Maybe bin is frequently used for cron jobs on systems that you are used to, but your advise will not work for Mohammed if his system is like the ones that I have seen. Furthermore, the sysadmin or the "application user" decide themselves what cron jobs to run. It doesn't just happen to be someone ( like bin for instance ). But we both agree that this could be a matter of permissions ( see my earlier mail regarding this subject ). Mohammed has already tried absolute path names, but that did not seem to work. Another thing that Mohammed can check, is if the cron job is really activated. He can check this by logging in as the particular user, and then run the command "crontab -l". If this command lists the users crontab file on the screen, and if this output shows the particular job, without any leading "#", then the job is activated. He may also run the command "mail" ( as that user ) to see if cron has mailed any messages about the jobs. If there are any cron job errors, they may appear in the unix mail messages.

If we're talking about jobs started from /etc/crontab, as I think we are, then not in most UNIX versions I have played with - though I wouldn't be surprised if it's true for some. I did play with an earlier version of Mandrake a year or two ago, and I don't recall the global crontab executing cron jobs as bin. I think its default is to run them as root, like most Unices. ... > Thanks to those of you that replied to my question.

Some versions of cron lose much of the login environment for scripts they run; PATH is only one of the things they mess up. Initial directory, and environment variables including SHELL, HOME, and LOGNAME as well as PATH may be messed up. Try running some debug code thru cron to print out as much info as you can to help you in this, e.g. a shell script #!/bin/sh id pwd env which perl_script which rrdtool which perl Maybe something there (or not there) will help you figure out what's going on. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- LavaNet Systems Architect -- cliftonr at lava.net WWJD?

References: <20010627075702.C16480@muumi.lnet.lut.fi> Message-ID: <0ad601c0fece$5b73fce0$1d64a8c0@neosparx.com> Hi everyone, I made a little tool called rrdutil. It can be used to create rrds, to retrieve values from a Cisco router thru snmp, and Graph the values retrieved. It grabs the in/out traffic + in/out errors from your router, and grabs the description plus the peak bandwidth. It gens png graphics, with 4 graphs per interface, daily/weekly/monthly/yearly views. It can get the number of interfaces in your cisco router automatically and gen the graphs !! This little tool is produced because : 1) Very little frontends 2) Frontends too complicated to configure + install Thus this is produced in "Pure Shell Script", no perl, no make, no installation, no nothing. All bash commands :-) Of course you have to first install rrdtool. This is my first post to the mailing list, so maybe posting a little handy tool should be good. It should work fine in all distros of Linux. Only config: Change the 3 variables entering: rrdtoolpath=The directory where the rrdtool binary is located; rrdbpath=The directory where the rrdatabases should reside graphpath=The directory where the graphics generated should reside Use cron(crontab -e) to run it every 5 mins and voila! I just make a script like this: ./rrdutil retrieve xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx xxxx ./rrdutil graph xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx xxxx ./rrdutil retrieve xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx xxxx ./rrdutil graph xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx xxxx and put the script name in crontab Usage: rrdutil create [hostname] [snmp communiity] rrdutil retrieve [hostname] [snmp community] rrdutil graph [hostname] [snmp community] Example: http://www.neosparx.com go to MRTG!

That is due to a part in the "graph" function when it gens the "err" graph, and I don't know why. Please debug it if you could. I get that too :-( For the "retrieve" error, I did not get that. I assume you have 3 interfaces, right? Could you do a "snmpwalk xx.xx.xxx.xxx [community]" for me and remove all IP addresses, Routing Table info, and etc and send it to me so I can try to solve the problem. I think that is because the snmp strings are different. In my 2501, I get a number from "interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.x" which shows me the Input Bytes, and In your case, I believe you have to do "interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.(slot/interface no).(interface no?)" to retrieve that number. Please send the snmpwalk results to me so that I can improve that. I will do more research and try out on more routers that we have so I can improve that tool. Please give comments everyone!!

If I delete the rrd, create a new one, and run today's stats again, its correct. This only occurs after the rrd has been running for >1 days. Even if my date stamps are wrong, it shouldn't be able to add numbers to previous entries should it? I'm just not sure what is going on because it works perfectly if I start from scratch. My graphs are showing approximately twice as much data as there actually is, but again are perfect if I restart the rrd from scratch. /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/bin/rrdtool graph daily.gif --vertical-label "mail messages per hour" DEF:del=daily.rrd:delivered:MAX LINE2:del#FF0000:"Mail Delivered" DEF:rec=daily.rrd:received:MAX LINE2:rec#000000:"Mail Received" DEF:bou=daily.rrd:bounced:MAX LINE2:bou#0000FF:"Mail Bounced" DEF:defe=daily.rrd:deferred:MAX LINE2:defe#00FFFF:"Mail Deferred" Any clues? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Wendy Faulkner Don't knock on Death's door. faulkner at eco.utexas.edu Ring the bell and run away. http://www.eco.utexas.edu/~faulkner He hates that. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- Unsubscribe mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=unsubscribe Help mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=help Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi From ronald at vitagreen.com Wed Jun 27 19:57:52 2001 From: ronald at vitagreen.com (Ronald Tse) Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2001 01:57:52 +0800 Subject: [rrd-users] Re: About rrdutil References: <200106271149.RAA17802@stl.gspc.net.in> Message-ID: <0bb401c0ff32$b2ee1910$1d64a8c0@neosparx.com> YES!

If it will not work can I get some insight as to why and what needs to be fixed. the #defines I am looking at are in rrd_format.h: #define DS_NAM_FMT "%19[a-zA-Z0-9_-]" #define DS_NAM_SIZE 20 #define DST_FMT "%19[A-Z]" #define DST_SIZE 20 I am assuming that either both DS_NAME_* and DST_* need to be changed or just DS_NAM_FMT and DS_NAM_SIZE.

I learned a few handy cron and perl tricks, like using qx instead of system and adding "2>&1 /dev/null" after my script to be run in the cron. My next question: I made a perl script to calculate and log how long it takes for our mail server to process (send and receive) email. I've added some lines to export the log info to rrdtool, so that rrdtool could graph the log data. What I want to be able to do is simply plot time for the last 36 hours on the x axis, and the number of seconds it's taken a message to be processed on the y axis. I read through the man pages and the tutorial, and I got only so far in my understanding (especially of RRA, I wish there were some example images in Alex van den Bogaerdt's tutorial). My problem is that my graph skips spikes. Here's a sample of log info I update my rrd with: --------------- 993736201:1 993736801:0 993737401:1 993738002:1 993738636:36 993739201:1 993739802:1 993740401:1 993740481:2 993740578:2 993740729:1 993740789:1 993740901:1 993741001:1 993741057:1 993741143:1 ----------------- When rrdtool tries to graph this, it skips entries which would spike like "993738636:36". You can see my rrdtool graph at: http://www.serve.com/mailpulse.htm In my perl script my rrdtool create command looks like this: rrdtool create /home/var/rrd/mailpulse.rrd --start $start DS:latency:GAUGE:600:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.1:1:1440 My rrdtool graph command looks like this: rrdtool graph /home/httpd/html/mailpulse.gif --title Mailpulse -v delivery_time_in_sec -w 500 -h 125 DEF:mylatency=/home/var/rrd/mailpulse.rrd:latency:AVERAGE LINE2:mylatency#FF0000 How can I create a graph which simply plots the data as I have it in my log, showing all data elements and not trying to average them?

Basically you will have to review the code (shouldn't be that hard) for locations where anyting happens with DSes. While you're at it you may as well provide a patch (please). Every part of the program is in its own file so you need to scan allmost all of the .c files. > #define DS_NAM_FMT "%19[a-zA-Z0-9_-]" > #define DS_NAM_SIZE 20 Change 20 and 19 into 256 and 255 (255 chars allowed). I don't know if you'll hit some limitation elsewhere, I do know you need to change both numbers. > #define DST_FMT "%19[A-Z]" > #define DST_SIZE 20 This should need no change.

Please, if you have comments on the tutorial provide me with feedback. It's hard for me to know where people experience difficulties if they don't tell me. If you really follow the tutorial, you will have created the graphs. No need to create them myself. It would also be very hard to include them in a pod file. You may be viewing the html file however that is *not* the file format used to distribute the tutorial.

I've rearranged your commands and other info a bit and now have: rrdtool create mailpulse.rrd --start 993736200 \ DS:latency:GAUGE:600:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.1:1:1440 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993736201:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993736801:0 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993737401:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993738002:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993738636:36 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993739201:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993739802:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993740401:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993740481:2 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993740578:2 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993740729:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993740789:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993740901:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993741001:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993741057:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993741143:1 rrdtool fetch mailpulse.rrd --start 993736200 --end 993741300 AVERAGE Its output: [alex at home /tmp]$ ./mailpulse.sh latency 993736200: NaN 993736500: 1.6666666667e-03 993736800: 1.6666666667e-03 993737100: 9.9833333333e-01 993737400: 9.9833333333e-01 993737700: 1.0000000000e+00 993738000: 1.0000000000e+00 993738300: NaN 993738600: NaN 993738900: 1.0000000000e+00 993739200: 1.0000000000e+00 993739500: 1.0000000000e+00 993739800: 1.0000000000e+00 993740100: 1.0000000000e+00 993740400: 1.0000000000e+00 993740700: 1.5900000000e+00 993741000: 1.0000000000e+00 993741300: NaN So, why are there NaN values in this output and not those high numbers? The hearbeat is set to 600. This means an update should occur within 600 seconds. If this doesn't happen, the input is assumed to be inaccurate and is thus set to unknown. Let's review part of your input: rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993738002:1 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993738636:36 rrdtool update mailpulse.rrd 993739201:1 You update 993738636 - 993738002 = 634 seconds apart, this results in an unknown for both 993738000..993738300 and 993738300..993738600. I must say 993738600..993738900 set to 1 surprises me, I'd expect this to be unknown as well, or maybe 36*36/300+1*(300-36)/300 == 5.2 > How can I create a graph which simply plots the data as I have it in my log, > showing all data elements and not trying to average them? With RRDtool you can't. Don't use a hammer to paint and don't use a screwdriver to hammer nails. In other words, use the right tool for the job. If you really want to display the measured values as they are, you should be using -for instance- a spreadsheet. RRDtool works with rates changing over time. Its consolidation functions and resampling of the data are an integral part, you shouldn't use rrdtool if you don't want to.

You can create a script that builds a RRDtool graph script. In this script you need 9 (or 7) VRULE commands. In a pseudo language you'd do: $midnight=`date -d "jun 30 00:00" +%s` for (i=0;i<9;i++) print "VRULE:${midnight}#FF0000" midnight -= 86400 or $midnight=`date -d "jun 30 00:00" +%s` $midnight -= 86400 for (i=0;i<7;i++) print "VRULE:${midnight}#FF0000" midnight -= 86400 This doesn't take daylight saving time into account so don't use this example as a complete solution! Another approach: You can change the default behaviour for the grid. Draw a major grid line only at midnight and maybe change its color. rrdtool graph .... --x-grid HOUR:8:DAY:1:DAY:1:86400:%a .... --color MGRID#FF0000 .... le 29/06/01 13:23, Pawel Dworniak (paul.dworniak at poczta.fm) ecrivait: > > Hello everyone! > > Can you tell me how can I graph vertical line every 24 hours? > I know that I can use VRULE:time or use example from RRD documentation: > > rrdtool graph example.png --title="INF demo" > DEF:val1=some.rrd:ds0:AVERAGE > DEF:val2=some.rrd:ds1:AVERAGE > DEF:val3=some.rrd:ds2:AVERAGE > DEF:val4=other.rrd:ds0:AVERAGE > CDEF:background=val4,POP,TIME,7200,%,3600,LE,INF,UNKN,IF > CDEF:wipeout=val1,val2,val3,val4,+,+,+,UN,INF,UNKN,IF > AREA:background#F0F0F0 > AREA:val1#0000FF:Value1 > STACK:val2#00C000:Value2 > STACK:val3#FFFF00:Value3 > STACK:val4#FFC000:Value4 > AREA:wipeout#FF0000:Unknown > > but it is hmmm... a bit complex > > Thanks > Paul > Poland > -- Jean-Edouard BABIN Web : http://www.Jeb.com.fr Mail: Jeb at jeb.com.fr ICQ : 27305084 IRC : @#Mac-Fr @#So etc.. undernet.org -- Unsubscribe mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=unsubscribe Help mailto:rrd-users-request at list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=help Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi From SBishop at e-xpedient.com Fri Jun 29 20:18:12 2001 From: SBishop at e-xpedient.com (Schuyler Bishop) Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2001 14:18:12 -0400 Subject: [rrd-users] How the interval value works... Message-ID: Sorry about the cross-post, but I don't know which list this is more appropriate for... Another question for the MRTG / RRD 'leet out there: Can $interval in MRTG be fractional? I want 5-minute averages because that's what our upstream uses to bill us, but an OC-3 can over-run a 2^32 counter twice in a 300 second poll! After looking at the code, it looks like it just takes the $interval and multiplies it by 60. I was thinking of keeping the interval at 5 minutes, but changing the multiplier to 30. Of course, then in my cgi I'd have to add every other poll to get a 5-minute average... And looking more into it, it would make just as much sense to change the interval to 2.5 - as long as it's not looking for an integer. Any suggestions / comments on this? Thanks!
