[rrd-users] Getting unknown value :-?

[Carlos Costa Portela]

	Hello all!

	I'm trying to play with RRDs, trying to do a script that saves the
load average of my machine. I create the file with:

     RRDs::create ("$workdir/$rrd", "--step","$update",
	"DS:load:GAUGE:864:U:U",
	"RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:864",
	"RRA:MIN:0.5:1:864",
	"RRA:MAX:0.5:1:864",
	"RRA:LAST:0.5:1:864");

	So, as far I understand, with one only value, I must see some
information when I request it:


	RRDs::update ("$workdir/$rrd","N:$load");

	But, unfortunately:

ds[load].min = NaN
ds[load].max = NaN
ds[load].last_ds = "UNKN"

	I am missing something. I don't understand what xff (xfiles
factor) means (I've tried with several values).

	Can you help me, please?

	Thanks in advance,
		Carlos.
