Ok,
You meant to say that, I can create a rrd file as given below.
rrdtool create domain1.com.rrd --step 300 \
DS:shameem1 \
DS:mailcount:COUNTER:1800:0:4294967295 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016 \
DS:spamcount:COUNTER:1800:0:4294967295 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016 \
DS:shameem2 \
DS:mailcount:COUNTER:1800:0:4294967295 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016 \
DS:spamcount:COUNTER:1800:0:4294967295 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016 \
In this case, DS names will collide rt?. How can we map the DS with corresponding user name.
Regards,
Shameem
