Hi Scot,

Thanks for sharing, but I didn't follow exactly what you needed to change
and where - maybe I could find out by digging a little, but I'm sure you
could tell me faster!

Also, are you able to see how much larger the rrd files are, after your
change?  Or maybe you'd need to wait longer to see.

Kind regards,

SebA

Hi Ralph,


The documentation is wrong.  I ended up figuring it out after several
hours of trial and error.  It shows -s 60 should work but the code doesn?t
account for the space.  It MUST be -s60 (without the space) or it will
error out every time.  I ended up adding RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:3000 to the
existing default config which should cover slightly more than two days
worth of 1 minute datapoints.  That will give the 2 day graphs the detailed
resolution I want to see, beyond 2 days the existing config is ok.  And
yes, you?re right about the existing data.  I had to delete all my RRD?s
and let xymon create them again and start populating them from scratch.  I
tried to do the RRD export and import but the changes resulted in an RRD
that had no data anyway, so I just went the delete them all route.  So far
I have 24 hours of data.  When I get past 48 hours I should know if there
are any repercussions, but since I haven?t modified the existing RRA?s I
don?t expect any.


Hopefully this will help someone else.

You might be able to use rrdtune to alter the step value, but that may be
just the tip of the iceberg.  For example, what happens to existing data in
the RRD?  What about new RRDs created by Xymon?  Do the graph definitions
need to change for display?  &c

I run most of my tests every 60 seconds.  Does anyone know how to change
the RRD graph default to accept data every 1 minute instead of every 5
minutes?
