Subject: [hobbit] FW: RRD data points - need help with graph distortion
Hi All,
I asked this question last week, but maybe I wasn't clear enough as to what
I was asking... -
Management wants to avoid graph distortion on my 60 day CPU Util graph if
possible. I think that more datapoints would address the problem. The
first graph looks good (30 day graph). The 2nd one distorts what is really
going on (60 day graph - same server). Is there any way to make the 2nd
graph more granular? Thanks for looking! -
I have a perl script to update all the rrd files:
- it uses rrdtool resize <rrd file> GROW to add extra datapoints so the rrd
has 5760 data points / rra (per default it has 756 data points)
- it adds also MAX and MIN rra's, this is more tricky because I export the rrd
to xml, change the xml info and revert back to an rrd file.
Unfortunatly, I can not share this script. But with
use RRDs ;
use File::Find ();
you can get info about the file and find them ;)
