[rrd-users] Re: RRDTOOL Create Configuration

[Nuno Emanuel Rodrigues]

Hello again.
Thanks for your answer.
I have some comments to do about yor RRAS...
With RRA:MIN:0.5:1:525600 you are storing exact values (without any
consolidation) for around.....4 or 5 years....large range of time.

You are creating 3 different RRA's .....The question i have...are you
creating 3 different graphs?
What i mean is.. if you are creating just one graph, probably with AVERAGE
CF, and then showing max, min with GPRINT:vname : CF :MIN/MAX. , you will
have a max/min value not present in the graph... This was discussed before i
think...

One important question i would like to do :

Like you said: 

	"If the resolution of the RRA is higher than the
> resolution of the graph, the data in the RRA will be further consolidated
> according to the consolidation function ( CF) chosen".

Of course ploting a yearly ghaph i will have more then 100k values (with 300
step) , and RRA resolution higher then graph resolution, so some
Consolidation will have to be done when the graphs are created...

So supposing i have 100k values (around 1 year), and i want to plot yearly
graph with 500x500 pixels , i will have a average of 200 values for each
pixel? 
If thing works this way...wont be very slow 500x (averages of 200 values)
???
