RE: [Bubba-users] Changing interfaces

[Todd A. G. <sla...@aw...>]

I know what is causing it, just need to think of a good solution.

RRDTool doesn't like the fact that the first of the two files doesn't
have data past the point you switched interfaces.

What is needed is to update the file to the end of the month with NaN or
0.  Now I'm pondering how this might be accomplished cleanly.
