[rrd-users] couple of questions

[Ricardo Kleemann]

Thanks Darren.

How do I go about doing a TOTAL VDEF? That would take care of summing
up the data points between start/end?

You're right, what I meant was to print it, on the legend I guess is
fine.

Simplest is to pass that to rrdgraph as new --start and --end times
and
then use a TOTAL VDEF to sum them.

If you truly want to sum something that is only a subset of the
graph,
I'd probably try to construct a CDEF from the original data and have
it
nulled out outside the region of interest. Then run TOTAL on it as
above.

If you generate a total with a VDEF, you can print it as part of the
legend with GPRINT or to stdout with PRINT. I don't really know what
you mean by "on the graph".
