[rrd-users] Using the Holt-Winters algorithm for prediction of future values

[Faraaz Sareshwala]

Yeah, I've been using the following RRA command in creating the rrd file:

"RRA:HWPREDICT:2016:0.1:0.0035:20"

I'm able to get confidence bands and tick marks along with the HWPREDICT line on our graphs. I'm just wondering how to use that data that RRDtool collects to display future values. Any help is greatly appreciated :D.

Have you seen the section on Holt-Winters in the rrdcreate
documentation?  It tells you that you need to create certain RRAs (which
can be automated by creating the HWPREDICT RRA without the final
argument).  Then you can use them for graphing or in RPN calculations.
