That seems to be the best route. I think I may actually just dump the
value in twice rather than include a U. My current thinking is to set up
the RRD file with a step of 60. I'll only actually update it every 300
seconds. Each update will include t-step:value and t:value. And the
highest resolution RRA will aggregate 5 steps with a XFF of 80. I'll
have to experiement a little bit to nail down the details exactly. Thanks,
