[rrd-users] Question about rrdcached

[Steve Shipway]

The order of the parameters to rrdcached are important.  Many apply only to the interface definitions following them.  So, your -b option (define base directory) should come before the -l (define listen port) option:

rrdcached -w 600 -z 10 -j /dados/rrd/cached/ -p /dados/rrd/rrdcached.pid -b /dados/rrd -l 192.168.173.122 

The reason for this is security -- you can define multiple listen ports with different levels of security and permissions.

The default behaviour on a TCP socket is -B -- disallow absolute ports and everything must be relative to the -b basedir.  Again, this is for security.

So, with the -l option at the end,  the basedir should take effect rather than the cwd where you started the rrdcached, and so this should work:

rrdtool fetch --daemon 192.168.173.122
193.181.1.98/192.168.1.241/uParticao/31-_.rrd MAX -s  $(date --date "Aug
01 00:00:00 2012" +%s) -e $(date --date "Aug 08 00:00:00 2012" +%s)

assuming the rrd file exists on the rrdcached server, of course.

Subject: [rrd-users] Question about rrdcached

Mustn't rrdtool connect to a remote host, through rrdcached? Was there
something wrong in my test below?

First I ran rrdcached:
rrdcached -l 192.168.173.122 -w 600 -z 10 -j /dados/rrd/cached/ -p
/dados/rrd/rrdcached.pid -b /dados/rrd/


When I tryed to use '"rrdtool fetch" (from a remote machine or local
machine through TCP) I got some errors:

rrdtool fetch --daemon 192.168.173.122
193.181.1.98/192.168.1.241/uParticao/31-_.rrd MAX -s  $(date --date "Aug
01 00:00:00 2012" +%s) -e $(date --date "Aug 08 00:00:00 2012" +%s)
ERROR: opening '193.181.1.98/192.168.1.241/uParticao/31-_.rrd': No such
file or directory

rrdtool fetch --daemon 192.168.173.122
/dados/rrd/193.181.1.98/192.168.1.241/uParticao/31-_.rrd MAX -s $(date

2012" +%s)
ERROR: absolute path names not allowed when talking to a remote daemon


Without rrdcached:
rrdtool fetch /dados/rrd/193.181.1.98/192.168.1.241/uParticao/31-_.rrd
MAX -s $(date --date "Aug 01 00:00:00 2012" +%s) -e $(date --date "Aug
08 00:00:00 2012" +%s) | head
