[rrd-users] Can I stuff an RRD with data after-the-fact?

[Johan Elmerfjord]

Hi Alan,

That sounds right to me.

You can specify the starttime of the rrd-file when you create it,
like:

rrdtool create $rrdFileName --start 1325372400 --step 300  ..and all the rest...

Hopefully that solves your problem.
RRD needs to fill in all the values from start until your first value - so creating a file long before your first value will probably be slow on the first update.

But that can easily be detected and adjusted I assume.

Good luck!

/Johan

I think my basic problem is that when I create the RRD it must put in
a "last update time" of the time of creation.
Then all my datapoints are basically before that time.

ERROR: foobar-1yr-5sec.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time
1410898046 when last update time is 1410898050 (minimum one second
step)
