[rrd-users] remote rrdtool access

[David Ball]

   Since RRD files are architecture-dependant, you might be safer to
generate the graphs on the original machine and copy them over, OR,
make use of the RRDtool 'dump' command on the original machine and scp
the .xml files that are created.  You'd then need to use the rrdtool
'restore' command to (re)generate the .rrd files on the local machine,
then generate your graphs from those.
   That said, if you have a homogeneous server environment (same
architecture and OS on your machines) you might get away with simply
copying the .rrd files directly.
