[rrd-users] Re: create --step ? vs DS:heartbeat

[Stephan Harren]

--step|-s step (default: 300 seconds)
Specifies the base interval in seconds with which data will be fed into the 
RRD. 

heartbeat defines the maximum number of seconds that may pass between two 
updates of this data source before the value of the data source is assumed to 
be *UNKNOWN*.

Best regards,

Stephan
