[rrd-users] 3 questions

[Shabnam Shahreza]

Thanx a lot Simon;

I'm going to try these, however at the very end when I get the "MAX per month" out of all of RRD sources, GPRINT or PRINT don't show/print where did this MAX came from... I need to show the name of the source that has the highest value... at the moment I could only print "value" or "time"...

Regards;
Sbnm

Dunno, sorry

You can access multiple RRD files in one graph like this :
DEF:a=rrdfile1.rrd:x:MAX
DEF:b=rrdfile2.rrd:x:MAX

Then you can use the RPN stuff to select the max, like this :
CDEF:abmax=a,b,GT,a,b,IF
a,b,GT puts a result on teh stack to say if it's true or not, then
(something),a,b,IF selects a if (something) is true or b if it's not.
The result is if a>b then select a, else select b.

Of course, the simpler way I'd overlooked is just :
CDEF:abmax=a,b,MAX

>3)      And how can I calculate separate VDEF (MAXIMUM) for

You can add time spans to a DEF statement :
DEF:c=rrdfile1.rrd:x:MAX:step=(something):start=(something):end=(something)
VDEF:cmax=c,MAXIMUM
