[rrd-users] basic rrdtool usage - short intervals

[Steve Shipway]

What he said.

You might also want to increase the length of the RRA proportionally, as well, and maybe decrease the DS heartbeat (as you have a shorter step size now).  Also, with a 1-dp RRA, you dont need to have the MIN and MAX, as they will be the same as the AVG for a group of a single point.

Try this:

rrdtool create arcsize.rrd --start N --step 15 DS:arcsize:GAUGE:30:0:5000 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:43920

If you want the 1-hour CDP RRAs as well (for graphing purposes) then just add the original 3 RRA definitions to the end of the statment:

rrdtool create arcsize.rrd --start N --step 15 DS:arcsize:GAUGE:30:0:5000 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:43920 RRA:MIN:0.5:12:3660 RRA:MAX:0.5:12:3660 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:3660

The problem is your RRA's are consolidating 12 points:  12 x 15
(second steps) = 180 seconds.

Change your RRA's so they consolidate one step and you'll get what
you're after.
