[smokeping-users] How to increase RRD history?

[Matt Almgren]

More info...

Based on earlier calculations, I come up with

86400 (sec/day) X 180 days / 30 (step value) = 518400, but I'm not sure
where to plug in this value.

As for # of targets, right now it's around 50 in each location, so I'm not
too worried about space at the moment.

Thanks!
