[rrd-users] Re: Multible RRD files on one graph

[Serge Maandag]

You can make a cdef for every instance.

def raw1=.....path to ds...
cdef filtered1=if unknown then zero

make one of those for every ds
And in your final cdef sum the filtered values in stead of the raw
values.

That way it does not matter how many ds's your adding and to which
router they belong.

I have read about it in the rrdtool tutorial page.
But the problem is, we really have many routers.
And we need to plot totals for different values and not always for those
all 
routers ( it is a complicated network)
So, if we go with defining the CDEF manually, it will be a headache.
I mean in the CDEF
CDEF: result = value, 0, if doesn't help because I have a varying number
of 
routers, and changing every few days.
I think changing the newest rrd file by padding extra 0's in the past is
the 
proper solution for us, but HOW TO determine the proper RRA number and
what 
is the number of ROWS to add in order to get one year in the past !!!
