[rrd-users] Re: HELP: Adding 2 vaues with same timestamp

[Iain Buchanan]

It usually doesn't make sense to update a record with two different values
for the same time stamp.  For example, there can't be a total of 2 as well
as a total of 5 people in a room at one time.  If you want to add two
records for a graph however, you can use CDEF's.  Is this what you want to
do?
