[rrd-users] Printing a single simple average value

[Ruttenberg, Tanya]

Thanks Alex!  It seems that the only difference between mine and yours
was you specified an output file.  Here's the final that worked

rrdtool graph /tmp/file.png -s "now-6 weeks" -e "now" \
DEF:ds0=router1.rrd:ifInOctets:AVERAGE \
VDEF:ds1=ds0,AVERAGE \
PRINT:ds1:%20.2lf%s

Yup. That's the only difference. Shrug.

Seems fine.  As the other reply indicates, indeed the problem may be
outside RRDtool.

To debug:

Alter your script so that it does create a graph.

 rrdtool graph router1_ds0.png -s "midnight-6w" -e "midnight" \
DEF:ds0=router1.rrd:ifInOctets:AVERAGE \  VDEF:ds1=ds0,AVERAGE \
LINE:ds0#FF000:ds0 \  GPRINT:ds1:%20.2lf%s

If that does result in a line resembling what you expect, and a number
in the graph, you know the RRDtool part is correct.  If not, you know
what to debug.

Then copy the GPRINT line and change GPRINT into PRINT (in the copy
only), rerun the script. RRDtool will now return the number to the
caller as well as show it on the graph.  If you cannot find it, the
problem is in your calling script, not in RRDtool (or, very unlikely,
you found a bug).

As soon as it works as expected, remove LINE and GPRINT.
