[bwm-tools-tech] Graphing issues

[Ravi P. <ra...@sw...>]

Hi Nigel

I have been experimenting with graph creation in a shell script which can be
called from cron at regular intervals and put the output file so that
anybody can view it over the web.

I find that I have to use a DEF statement immediately followed by a CDEF and
a VDEF(if required) and then by a LINE or AREA statement and only after this
can I put another DEF statement. 

If I put multiple DEF statements followed by multiple LINE statements, it
does not work. Rrdtool version is 1.2.13 and OS is centOS.
Any particular reason that you can think of?

Regards
Ravi

If you using rrdtool to pull data out of an .rrd file, its unfortunately
out of the scope of this mailing list .... if you paste examples of what
works and what doesn't maybe we can lend a hand, just don't bet on it  ;)=
