[rrd-users] Re: Update rrd from Web page form

[Paul Smith]

Hi Kevin,
	RRDTool comes with a Perl module that you can use to write a script  
that takes web form data and does an rrdtool update. Take a look at the  
tutorial on the RRDTool site at  
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/tutorial/ 
rrdbeginners.html At the very bottom is an example Perl script.
	Since you're going to be updating your RRD's manually, be sure you  
understand what RRDTool does when updates don't fall on regular  
intervals... some interpolation happens you should be aware of. Check  
out the section called Data Resampling at  
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/tutorial/ 
rrdtutorial.html
