[rrd-users] update mising value

[Andy Riebs]

Hi Francesco,

rrdtool doesn't have an update function such as this; it presumes that 
data will be stored in serial order, as it becomes available.

If the missing data are cumulative, you can just enter the latest data 
when it does become available, and let rrdtool extrapolate the 
intermediate values.

If you *really* need to insert old missing data, you will probably have to 
dump the database, insert the corrected data, and re-load it.

hth!
Andy
