done.

> You say that you want to know the amount of pellets. RRDtool has no idea how many pellets weigh a kilogram, but if you know then you can tell RRDtool and show pellets per day. Just multiply (using a CDEF) by 86400 for 'per day' and by the amount of pellets per kg. This can be done in the same CDEF, even in the same multiplication.

Oh, that is a missinterpretation. I am interested in kg/day. Not really
counting the pellets :)
