Question about hobbitd_rrd 🔗 link

All,

 
I am trying to find out if I change settings hobbitd_rrd.c

 
From

                newrec->key = strdup("");

                newrec->defs = (char **)malloc(4 * sizeof(char *));;

                newrec->defs[0] = strdup("RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:576");

                newrec->defs[1] = strdup("RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:3456");

                newrec->defs[2] = strdup("RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:13824");

                newrec->defs[3] = strdup("RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:27648");

                newrec->count = 4;

                rbtInsert(rrddeftree, newrec->key, newrec);

                newrec->defs[0] = strdup("RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:576");

                newrec->count = 4;

                rbtInsert(rrddeftree, newrec->key, newrec);

 
and recompile.

 
Does this only affect new created files with xymon or will it start
giving me error messages on the previously created rrd files?

 
Thank you,

Tom

Only affects the newly created files. rrdtool itself comes with 
utilities to change the number of datapoints stored for each RRA
in existing files.
