[rrd-users] Accumulative power usage graph

[gm_sjo]

Hi all,


This is my first post to this list so let me know if anything is out
of order. I'm a complete rrdtool noob so bear with me.

I've got some power usage graphs knocked up, using a currentcost CC128
as a data source, via a Perl script. It's working fine just displaying
historic actual usage, as per this example :-

Now, more importantly than the above graph I need to create a chart
showing kWh used per day/month/quarter/year. I'm thinking that because
I have a 1 day graph with an average consumption value I should be
able to transpose this into a kwh used for that day.

Something like this :-

Problem is I have no idea how to achieve this - has anyone done this
that could share their conf, or perhaps just some
pointers/suggestions?

At the bottom is one of the power graph confs.

Thanks!
