You’re misunderstanding the nature of the RRD behaviour; you only need a single RRD file with two RRAs; a single update and two graph calls.
When you call rrdtool to generate the graph, it will use the best available RRA, based on the granularity requested and the time window you have asked to graph. You can specifically request a particular granularity (IE, a particular RRA) and it will only use another if the data are not available in the requested one. You update the RRD file using your ‘rrd update’, and this will simultaneously update all the RRAs in the RRD, rolling up the data where required, and expiring where necessary. To show this is indeed possible, you only have to look at MRTG/RRD �C this uses a single RRD with multiple RRAs, a single update, but generates multiple graphs over the different RRAs. See the manual here: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html In particular, use the �Cs and �Ce to set the start and end of your time range (ensuring it is wholly within the RRA you want to use) and the �CS to specify the step size (allowing you to specify the particular RRA). Pay particular attention to edge cases �C make sure your RRA is a little bit bigger than the window you want to graph. When specifying your data, using the DEF directive, make sure that you have an RRA available with the requested CF at the requested resolution (step size) for the requested time window, else rrdtool will make best-effort using the data it has.

I am pinging a host and graphing the latency. I have an RRD called host-latency-db.rrd I had two RRAs set up with 24 hours and 7 days but it is my understanding the graph tool picks either/or depending on the data. I dont believe I can graph off each RRA Simply put, I want to ping a host, store the data and graph 2 separate graphs with 24 hours and 7 days without having to ping it twice. The only way I can thing to do this is after my get_data() command that pings it, I run the following command $rrdtool update host-latency_db.rrd --template pl:rtt N:$RETURN_DATA I am assuming I will need two databases to store the information, 1 for a day and 1 for an hour. Then on my create graph script, I will have to have two rrdtool graph calls, one on each DB, and create two separate graphs. I was hoping there is a cleaner way or if I need two DBs and two graph calls. Thanks, --Eric
