[rrd-users] Question about averaging daily ; but with 5 min. steps

Hi

I got a bit closer to what I wanted to do today ...

I calculated as follow:
    CDEF:cexport30b=COUNT,$res,300,/,%,0,EQ,cexport30,$res,TRENDNAN,UNKN,IF \

Basically, I look at the position of the value in the dataset ; if it
doesn't fall on a multiple of 5 minutes, I push UNKNOWN, if not ,
using TRENDNAN, I calculate the average at this point of the last 5
minute and push it on the stack.

Now, I can calculate the maximum and the minimum properly...
Unfortunately, I still can't plot properly because rather than putting
UNKNOWN, I should be putting nth-time the average just calculated.
So if calculating an hourly average, I should be duplicating 12 times
the 5 minutes average.

Unfortunately, the RPN stuff doesn't give me that much leeway...

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to achieve what I've been talking about?

Thanks
Jean-Yves
