[rrd-users] Re: Sudden spike in RRD graph

[Tay Chee Yong]

Hi Alex,

I am running my cron every 5 minutes to perform rrdtool update. So where 
and when should I use rrdtool tune? Do I specify in the cron also?

Does the following help??

rrdtool tune data.rrd -i ds-name:U -a ds-name:U

Please advise

Thanks.

Regards,
Cheeyong
