[rrd-users] Getting Started with RRD

[Lex]

So is that a pre-requirement to RRD?  That all data have an even step?  The 
reason I ask, is that the series of data I have doesn't necessarily have 
information available at regular intervals; consider reachability issues and 
the like..

thanks
Alex

nope, unless you change the interval of value-readings to a minimum of 1 
second
before trying to create a rrd out of these informations. ;-)

lets assume you check your server every minute (60s), you'd have to create a 
rrd
with some lines like this:

rrdtool create serverstats.rrd --step 60 \
 DS:ping:ABSOLUTE:120:0:U \
 DS:load:ABSOLUTE:120:0:U \
[and then the needed RRA-Definitions...]

but you should check the rrdtool-webpage for more detailed informations and 
documentation
how to use rrdtool at all. (www.rrdtool.org)
