[rrd-users] Start time with rrdtool create

[Glenn MacGregor]

Tobias,

Thanks for the info. I am still having a problem. With rrdtool dump, the
first rra ends at the time I specified to start. Is this normal
behavior?

 Thanks

   Glenn

Gelnn,

use rrdtool info or rrdtool dump to see what is in the rrd file ...
rrdxport is for reports ...
