Hi,

You should use 
 
--step 3600
DS:channels:GAUGE:7200:U:U
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:8760
since you do 24 updates per day for 365 days -> 24*365=8760

usualy i use heartbeat=step

so in order to store 365 days what would you suggest me to do?

the thing is that everything was fine for 3 or 4 months and then suddenly
the yearly graph
went boom ... is this because I was only storing for approx 158 days?

thanks alex for your response
