[rrd-users] Storing Static + Dynamic data in rrd

[Shameem Ahamed]

Ok, 

In that case, how can i add a static data in rrd(Here username). 

As far as i know, rrdcreate is expecting data as given below 

DS:ds-name:DST:dst arguments

How can i add a fixed data (user name) as a DS ?.


Regards,
Shameem
