Could my problem below (no values in RRA 2, 3 and 4) be linked to the
xff factor? I am observing scarce information, with one occurence
every day or less, so in each interval of 30, 120 or more minutes,
only one step will not be unknown: I need an xff of 287/288 ~ 0.9965
so my RRA should be:
'RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600',
'RRA:AVERAGE:0.9:6:600',
'RRA:AVERAGE:0.99:24:600',
'RRA:AVERAGE:0.999:288:732'
Am I right?
Best regards,
