[rrd-users] how to load / updated data in rrd database from a file?

I have been trying this, and perhaps it is because I am configuring my
data layout incorrectly.  I am trying to configure my line of data like
this:

server name  1 2 1 3 1 1 2 1 3 1 2 


Where the first column is the hostname, and the rest of the columns are
my data points at 1 minute intervals.  Is this correct, or do I need to
configure my data in a column format like this:
server name
1
2
1
3
1
1
2
1
3
1
2

Thanks,
Bill

Hi,

You can loop through the csv file, read each line and run an RRD update
command for each read line. This way you will effectively feed the RRD
database with data for each minute from your csv file. I don't know an
automated way to do this. You would need to write a short Perl or Bash
script, for example.
