Data updates come in every 5min for each DS.

The rrdcached is started with these parameters:

/u01/rrdtool-1.4.uoa/bin/rrdcached -s mrtg -m 0660 -l unix:/var/tmp/rrdcached.sock -l mrtg.auckland.ac.nz -l localhost -z 60 -p /var/tmp/rrdcached.pid -t 4 -j /u01/rrdtool/journal -b /u01/rrdtool -w 1800 -O -a 6

The journal sits at about 25MB with these settings; there are also implicit flushes of some data caused by the Routers2 frontend for MRTG, the Network Weathermap data collection, and other dashboard features but these are a small fraction of the full RRD count.
