Then when you do the rrd update, you should simply specify the timestamp at
which the measurement was done ; and you won't experience that issue.

The issue of rrd putting unknown only occurs if the time between various
updates' timestamp is more than the set heartbeat.

 There's no problem if you're doing the update every 900 minutes as long as
each update has the right timestamp.

Hope that makes sense to you...
