Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Would some kind soul please post an example of the use of the --template option to the rrdupdate command ?
I had thought that with an RRD containing DSs named (a, b, c, d) in that sequence that rrdupdate .. --template=d:c:b:a N:D:C:B:A would update DS d with value D DS c with value C DS b with value B and DS a with value A however, it seems that what is happening is that the DSs are updated in the same order as the position of the update value in the update string (ie an update string of N:u1:u2:u3 updates DS 1 [a in this example] with u1, DS 2 [b] with u2 and so on). So with the rrdupdate above, the DSs are updated like DS a with value D DS b with value C DS c with value B and DS a with value A What should I expect to see ? After reading the FM, I thought the former interpretation correct (ie that the template specifies the order of the update) but practise leads me to think the latter.

Thank you, Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
