Anti-RRD, don't loose information
logs are precious, rrd believes otherwise, that wouldn't be a problem if rrd wasn't so popular. Thus, one needs tool that sits on top of rrd/modifies rrd, and stop it from erasing data. That is the most economical course of action, since every data logging tool outthere uses rrd.How to proceed?
- cron-fired tool that backs rrd-data into separate file
- patch to rrd, that stores removed data in alternate data stream (another file), with a little effort this might become an option to rrd, making historical data easily available to rrd-based tools
