[rrd-users] For..next loops within RRDs Perl module calls

[David Thornton]

What I do in this case is write scripts that write scripts.

For example if I have a bunch of similar devices , but each device has
a different number of variables, I write a script that writes an
rrdcgi for each device.

Most recently is was brightmail spam bucket graphs.  I have 11 dcs
each with a different number of brightmail devices. For each
datacentre write an rrdcgi that aggregates whatever the number of
brightmail devices are in that datacentre.

It's not as elegant as say a single script that you use for all
datacentres , but it does get the job done.

On a related note has anyone played around with squeezing lots of
cdefs in one graph? My big datacentres segfault with complicated
graphs. So for example if I add 40 points together and plot the sum it
works, but if I stack all those points it falls over.

Do I need to break out gdb and strace or have I tell rrd "I'm going to
feed you a lot of data, be prepared"?

(A la jvm xmx xms?)
