[rrd-users] Re: populate RRD with old data

[Vargas, Miguel]

When I try to do a rrdtool update with an older timestamp I get:
ERROR: illegal attempt to update using time 1042731000 when last update time
is 1043099100 (minimum one second step)

Does this mean I can't use rrdtool update to add missing historical data?
Why not?

It will properly update each RRA as long as each update time-stamp is close
to your 'step' interval--in your case, 900 seconds.

I have a database with two years of 15min router interface utilization data.
I would like to get this data into RRD so I can graph it MRTG style, i.e.
daily, weekly, monthly, yearly.  

I created RRAs like this:
rrdtool create $ifname.rrd --start 1009861200 --step 900 
DS:In:GAUGE:3600:U:U 
DS:Out:GAUGE:3600:U:U 
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:128 
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:2:432 
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:8:420 
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:96:390 
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:128 
RRA:MAX:0.5:2:432 
RRA:MAX:0.5:8:420 
RRA:MAX:0.5:96:390

My question is, how do I populate my RRAs with the old data?  If I do a
rrdtool update with a time stamp from a year ago, will it go into the
correct RRA?
