[rrd-users] Re: starting with rrd

[Sérgio Lopes]

Hi again,
Unfortunately, it's not my decision to make. I did install Cacti, tried 
it out, liked it, talked about it with who's in charge, but I am still 
requested to create a rrd myself and fill it with the values stored on 
the mysql db.. so back to square 1.
Thanks anyway for replying , Mark.

Regards,
