Hi All,

I want to make a map of data that I poll not every 5 minutes but every 30 minutes.

I see in the log file this rule:

Code:
c:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe fetch C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/rra/somefile.rrd AVERAGE --start now-800 --end now


most of the time I get no value back.

Is it possible to manually adjust the data that is being fetched?

I want to do something like this:
Code:
c:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe fetch C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/rra/somefile.rrd AVERAGE --start now-1500 --end now

Yes. There are two ways:

1) Switch to using poller_output, instead of rrdtool directly. You do this by adding SET rrd_use_poller_output 1 at the top of your map config. It takes a few poller cycles to get going, but should be faster than before, and work with any data. I haven't actually *tested* with longer periods, but it should work.

2) Increase the period that we look backwards, as you suggest. You can do that with SET rrd_period 1500 at the top of your map config file. It will take a little longer to do things, as weathermap is processing twice as much data. I doubt you'd notice the difference. Definitely works with longer periods, because that's what it's for

Both of those are documented here, incidentally.

it seems to work, thx Howie
Can I change this per node?

But i have this small bug,
The actual value in the rrd file is 1 but it displays 8

My test config
Code:
SET rrd_period 1500

WIDTH 800
HEIGHT 600

KEYTEXTCOLOR 0 0 0
KEYBGCOLOR 255 255 255
BGCOLOR 255 255 255
TITLECOLOR 0 0 0
TIMECOLOR 0 0 0

# End of global section

# DEFAULT definitions:
NODE DEFAULT
   MAXVALUE 100

LINK DEFAULT
   BANDWIDTH 1M


# End of DEFAULTS section

# Node definitions:
NODE Node1

   LABEL {node:this:bandwidth_in:%d}
   POSITION 218 207
   TARGET C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/rra/Node1.rrd:ds1:ds1


Code:
c:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe fetch C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/rra/Node1.rrd AVERAGE --start now-1500 --end now
               ds1

1204807500: 1.0000000000e+00
1204807800: 1.0000000000e+00
1204808100: 1.0000000000e+00
1204808400: nan
1204808700: nan
1204809000: nan
