[smokeping-users] Re: RRD data and 'step' config parameter

[Keith Redfield]

Well, it was probably covered in this comment:
 
Note that it is not possible to edit existing RRDs
by changeing the entries in the cfg file.
 
but I didn't fully grasp the consequences. I'm happy to contribute an FAQ, but my perl code is renowned for it's resemblence to BASIC.
 
Cheers,

this exactly is the problem ... smokeping does not somehow
magically alter the resolution of the rrdfiles later on .. it might
generate some warning if it finds an rrdfile that does not match
though ... patches welcome ...
