I’ve been using rrd for a while now and love the results.
The best feature and hardest part to understand when setting it up is that the rrd files are a fixed size. You have to understand before hand how often you’ll update the database and what data will go in on each update to create your own rrds. Once it’s setup, it can run for years, and the size of the file won’t change. Makes capacity planning a lot easier if you’r tracking a lot of data.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
