Uh... my bad, I miss-read the details. You are right, it's a rainfall per hour rate. I think a pre-filter script to convert your hourly rate back into a counter before feeding it to rrd would be the best option. A little python scripting would probably do it pretty easily. On 14 June 2017 at 09:0

A far simpler solution is; it's just a counter that resets every hour. Provided you set sensible min and max rates, rrd will just see the hourly reset as a counter reset and record an UNKNOWN rate (NaN) for that 5min (since rrd cannot know how much rain fell between the reset and the sample taken
