Yes, that is correct (and intended). > not knowing exactly what your trying to do, I would think you > may be able to solve the problem by re-creating the RRD and > specifying the --start option to go back to the time when you > want to start collecting data. Sorry, didn't mean to omit that detail. I am learning how to use RRD, so I'm constantly blowing away my RRD databases and recreating them, to play with the parameters. This script is to take a brand new database and repopulate it with the last year's worth of historical data. Ie, bring an empty RRD up to the current day, if you will. > RRD won't update data points in the past as far as I know. Ugh, you are absolutely correct - I've gone over that man page a bunch of times, but I completely missed that. And guess what - my script now appears to be updating the RRD just fine after adding the --start parameter to the create script. :) Thanks much!
