Ah! Thank you very much! My big mistake with all this was thinking I needed to use strftime to specify that graph start and stop times, when I realized it was only for informational uses I felt quite sheepish, but greatly appreciate you're example, it clarifies things even further. Thanks again!

Hi Jeremy,

I use the following code at the bottom of all of my graphs:

COMMENT:"Data graphed from <RRD::TIME::STRFTIME START <RRD::CV LENGTH>
<RRD::CV END> '%H\:%M %e/%b/%Y'> to <RRD::TIME::STRFTIME END <RRD::CV
LENGTH> <RRD::CV END> '%H\:%M %e/%b/%Y'>"

Which produces:

Data graphed from 10:29 6/Dec/2005 to 10:29 7/Dec/2005

I get the <RRD::CV LENGTH> etc. variables from the CGI query string
which looks like:

/cgi-bin/DISK.cgi?PERIOD=Daily&END=now&LENGTH=end-1d

/cgi-bin/CPU.cgi?PERIOD=2+Hour&END=1133910000&LENGTH=end-2h

And then the parameters of my graph are specified as:

--start <RRD::CV LENGTH> --end <RRD::CV END>

Use can use "man strftime" to get the formatting options, but I've
listed them below.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Kobe

Subject: [rrd-users] RRD::TIME::STRFTIME use?

Greetings,
 I'm playing around with rrdcgi to create some graphs, and what I'd
really like to know is now to use RRD::TIME::STRFTIME. Since I'm not at
all familiar with STRFTIME and the php.net manual, although helpful,
didn't give me the info I'm looking for, I thought I'd ask here. I'd
like to see an example of how to set the start and stop times in the
cgi. Though, after staring at this and playing with it for awhile, I'm
not quite sure that's exactly what it is for.. Either way, I'm trying to
make with RRDCGI, the same graph outputs as you get with normal MRTG,
and am stuck. Thanks in advance for any help!
