[rrd-users] create rrd files - basic questions

[Augusto Castelan Carlson]

Hi!

I´m starting to learn how to use rrdtool.  I have some question:

-In the DS configuration option, if I´m going do graph bits traffic, the 
´min´and ´max I put in bits (example: 10000000 for 10Mbps)?

-In the configuration option RRA, I did not understant how to use the CF 
option and when?

- For the xff option, I did not understant what really is this factor 
(may you can give an example) and what is the factor I need to use.

-The manual (rrdtool create) do not explain what is primary data point 
(PDP), and this option became not clear for me.  What doc explain what 
is PDP?

-Assuming the I´m collecting some data every 300 seconds. If I want to 
store for 24 hours, I hato put as value for the option rows a number 
that multiplied for 300 seconds give me 24 hours in seconds? In the 
manual, the example put 1200 * 300 = 1000hours.  THe number 1200 is the 
number that I cited above?

Thank you.
