Subject: [rrd-users] 95th %ile



All,

Inline is some code to get the 95th %ile from a rrd.  There are a few
options and defaults. 
the options are:
--version     version
--help        help
--file        rrd file to read in
-b            display data in bits ( result * 8 )
-s            display standard deviation and mean as well
-q            display the query used to fetch data from rrdtool
-d            display the 95th data

They are fairly self explanatory.  The only required option is --file(-f).
To get the 95th %ile from a rrd I use  ./95th.pl -f my.rrd -s.  

So.  there are a few known issues.
1. The output when using -s most likely will be unsorted.
2. you will need to change $rrdtoolLocation to be correct for your
installation.

The code in here is NOT clean, there are comments missing and much better
ways to do things and most likely there are some bugs.

This program has not been tested on windows, and was never intended to run
on a windows platform.

DISCLAIMER:
I David Gabler nor my Employer will be held liable for ANY problems arising
from this script.  This includes but is not limited to; billing issues,
machine performance degradation, loss of your job, bodily harm, you over all
sanity.  There is no warranty implied or stated.

Best of luck,

David Gabler
