[rrd-users] Re: Correct?

[Németh László]

Why dont you just name the DSs like:

DS:uid1_user1_bytes:GUAGE:U:U
DS:uid2_user2_bytes:GUAGE:U:U
DS:uid3_user3_bytes:GUAGE:U:U

This way bytes of the different users are stored in one rrd.

Well, I'm actually wanting to plot lines (with the bytes at a given
timestamp) for each username. Should I create a new rrd for each user,
instead of compiling it all into one? This is my first attempt with RRDTool,
I'm just a bit confused still about how it all works, despite having read
about it.
I really appreciate your input.

> This seems correct since data types are gauges. But, why would you store
username in a database this way? Database will have different/same usernames
as the case may be. But when you retrieve the data, I guess you will
retrieve it based on the time and not username. If you plot a graph using
those retrived unames, I can just imagine how the graph will look like.
