[rrd-users] Re: Mismatch in MAX values

[Scott Williams]

I installed the Perl Module like you suggested and twiked my code a bit
and it's now running much better.  I'm still a little confused why I was
getting such different results from the fetch command and my graphs, but
at least now I'm getting the correct values.  Thanks for the help.

I haven't seen a reply on this post yet, so I thought I'd throw in my
two
cents.  I do a similar thing for some Terminal Server graphs I generate.
Here is a bit of my code snippet:

---- Start Snippet ----
use RRDs;
# Get a week's worth of points from the MAX RRA of termserver.rrd my
($start,$step,$names,$data)=RRDs::fetch("termserver.rrd","MAX","--start"
,"-6
04800");
# Zero out all the variables
$maxweekconnections=0;
$maxweekdate=0;
# Find the max connections and time
foreach my $line (@data) {
	foreach my $val (@$line) {	# Check each value
		# Check to see if this connection count is higher than
		# the last highest that was found
		if($maxweekconnections<=$val){
			# Store the MAX value for the week
			$maxweekconnections=$val;
			# Store the date when the MAX value happened
			$maxweekdate=$start;
		}
	}
	# Add the step time to the start to keep track 
	# of what date we're looking at
	$start+=$step;
}
# Convert the epoch time to something more readable
$readablemaxweekdate=localtime($maxweekdate);
print("Max connections for the week happened on $readablemaxweekdate
with
$maxweekconnections.\n);
---- End Snippet ----
I notice in your Perl script you're doing system calls to get the RRD
FETCH
function to work.  Have you tried using the RRDs Perl module?  My code
above
uses that and I haven't had any grief getting maximum values.

Just thought it might be worth a try.

Subject: [rrd-users] Mismatch in MAX values


I written a Perl script that graps the MAX input and output values from
an
rrd file, but 
values that it gets does not match up with the graphs for the device.
I'm
new at Perl, but I believe the logic is sound.  Here's the script that I
wrote along with the vales that I get when I run it.  I'll also but the
values that I get from the graph.  Any help with this 
would be much appreciated.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$t_days = $ARGV[0];
$t_watch = 60 * 60 * 24 * $t_days; 
$now = time();
$start = $now - $t_watch;

open(RRD,"rrdtool fetch ethernet.rrd MAX --start $start |") or die
"Can't
open rrdtool";

$in_max = 0;
$out_max = 0;
while(<RRD>) {
    chomp;
    ($time,$stuff) = split /:\s+/;
    @ds = split /\s+/, $stuff;
    $new_bits_in = $ds[0];
    $new_bits_out = $ds[1];

    $cur_bits_in = ($new_bits_in - $old_bits_in) * 8;
    $cur_bits_out = ($new_bits_out - $old_bits_out) * 8;

    if($cur_bits_in > 0) {
        $in_max=($in_max > $cur_bits_in) ? $in_max : $cur_bits_in;
    }
    if($cur_bits_out > 0) {
        $out_max=($out_max > $cur_bits_out) ? $out_max : $cur_bits_out;
    }

    $old_bits_in = $new_bits_in;
    $old_bits_out = $new_bits_out;
}

$in_max = sprintf("%.2f", $in_max / (1024 * 1024));
$out_max = sprintf("%.2f", $out_max / 1024); * 1024));

print  "INPUT MAX: $in_max\n";
print  "OUTPUT MAX: $out_max\n";


noc# INPUT MAX: 1.10
noc# OUTPUT MAX: 0.38

On the Graphs I can see input max at 1.91 and output at 0.54
