[cacti-user] Supplying non-current values

[<Seb...@Al...>]

Folks

I have a collection program that retrieves values from our enterprise
systems both locally and remote and stores them in text files (due to
network latency between the UK and China running them from the UK is not
an option).

These files are then shipped back to me on a daily basis.

I need to update Cacti with their values but for the time they were run
at in the remote office not the time I am loading them.

I have the data currently stored, along with the era value for when they
were generated, in a SQL database and want to feed this into Cacti.

I have tried writing RRD databases directly and this does work but how
can I get Cacti to display them?

Either I can write directly to the rrd files and somehow convince Cacti
it did the writing or I could write a cacti script that sucks data in
from the SQL database and somehow overrides the era value with the value
from the database.

Any assistance gladly received.

Sebastian Rogers
