[rrd-users] Noob questions about number of rows to create.

[Craig Smith]

Hi,

I'm tying to create and RRD for keeping track of an Ethernet interface
at intervals of 15 second, and I don't know how many rows to keep for
the 1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 1 hour, and 1 day averages I am keeping.

Would someone please explain to me how to pick a proper amount of rows
for an archive

Thanks,

rrdtool create foo.rrd -s 15 DS:ds0:COUNTER:30:0:4294967295 \
