Subject: [rrd-users] Re: problem with displaying metrics of different ranges



The problem with my data is that the number varies.
Is there a way to get the MAX value out, so I can use
in the CDEF.

For example, I can do this:
CDEF:aline4=line4,10,/
But, instead of a static value of 10, I need a dynamic
value that depends on the MAX value of the metric.

I was hoping to get that information from the info,
but all I got for the .max was a NaN:
[oracle at epic12 epic227]$ rrdtool info epic227.rrd
filename = "epic227.rrd"
rrd_version = "0001"
step = 60
last_update = 1109175738
ds[num_user].type = "GAUGE"
ds[num_user].minimal_heartbeat = 120
ds[num_user].min = 0.0000000000e+00
ds[num_user].max = NaN
ds[num_user].last_ds = "UNKN"
ds[num_user].value = 1.8000000000e+01
ds[num_user].unknown_sec = 0
rra[0].cf = "MAX"
rra[0].rows = 1440
rra[0].pdp_per_row = 1
rra[0].xff = 5.0000000000e-01
rra[0].cdp_prep[0].value = NaN
rra[0].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 0
rra[0].cdp_prep[1].value = NaN
rra[0].cdp_prep[1].unknown_datapoints = 0
rra[0].cdp_prep[2].value = NaN
rra[0].cdp_prep[2].unknown_datapoints = 0

Any idea?


Thanks,
