I was thinking how to solve this problem. Is it possible to dump only
results? If I use rrd dump i get the whole database, but I only need results
from AVERAGE.. Can i export data when I`m making the graph? I would like to
have b/s in a file and then i would calculate all them together and send the
result to mrtg so it will draw the graph. Is that possible?
