[rrd-users] Re: Printing a text report instead of a graph

[Ruttenberg, Tanya]

I *do* think it seems more like a buffering issue than an xport issue as
I said.

I think I must have first tried RRDs::xport first. I wonder why I didn't
use it?  

I still think xport seems kind of messy--you have to wade through all
that XML to get your data.  But if noone has a different suggestion I
will go back to trying RRDs::xport.

Thanks.

Ah, yes. Found that post.

Hmmm ... After a very fast look at RRDp.pm it seems that it will call
rrdtool directly und uses its output.
Usually stdout/stdin are buffered and maybe the buffering produces this
mess. (Just a wild guess ;)

I used RRDs::xport inside a perl-Script for about 200 Hosts (two RRD
files per host) without any problems.

Could you try RRDs::xport instead? It is directly linked against librrd
(at least it doesn't call rrdtool directly).

HTH,

Andreas.

P.S.: _If_ RRDs::xport work I guess you should report this bug with
RRDp::cmd
