Duh... of course I leave out an important remark for this topic:

Above paragraph should read:

Running rrdtool update every 'x' seconds where x < step size is OK and
can for instance be used when 64-bit counters aren't available and the
amount of traffic causes 2 counter wraps per run.  In that case a
heartbeat setting of (for instance) 120 makes sure at most one wrap can
have occured.

grtz,
Alex

communications style that is natural to people who are more concerned about
solving problems than making others feel warm and fuzzy.
