i'm trying to understand rrdtool, but something is missing from the picture
what could be the problem.. below is a simple session of mine ..
"gen" is a simple script with wich i use to automate sample generation (see
below for details)..
U see on fetch I get annoying results that has nothing to do with data
entered...?!? why ?
The other interesting thing is that I generate the data in steps of 300sec, but
on fetch i get step 1800sec ?! which probably is the second RRA 6 samples
averaged.., doesnt seem to me like average in fetch !? but how I can get
COUNTER data itself ?!
(I tried and set "gen" step to 1800, but again nothing, even worse ?, i know i
should use step 300 just was curious)
