Hi All,

I have not been using rrdtool for too long, so this maybe unnecessary, if so 
tell me know how I can do it with the existing operators.


I am trying to calculate availability for a device based on a true or false 
value.  The availability is a percentage 0 - 100%.  The only way I can think of 
to calculate it would be:

((Total # samples * (endtime - starttime)) - (# of false samples * (endtime - 
starttime)) / (Total # samples * (endtime - starttime))) * 100

Example:
Ten samples every 5 minutes
Time        Value        Availability        Function
---------    -----------        --------------        --------------
0                1                100%          
((1*(0-0))-(0*(0-0))/(1*(0-0))*100               (Could be a problem here Div 
by 0)
5                1                100%          ((2*(5-0))-0/2*(5-0)*100 = 100
10              1                100%
15              1                100% 
20              0                80%            (5*20)-(1*20)/(5*20) = 80/100 = 
.8 * 100 = 80%
25              1                83.3%                
30              0                71.4%                
35              0                62.5%
40              1                66.7%
45              1                70.0%
50              0                63.7%



Is there a way to do this in the current CDEF?  If not I can add it to the list 
of functions if you think this is the correct way to do something like this?

Or is there another way to make this happen within rrd?


Thanks in advance
