This is correct.
The data format for a "round robin database" is fixed at creation time for a certain number of data points at a certain interval, using a certain method for combining them (typically 'AVERAGE' by default).
When you're increasing the number of data points you're submitting, you're putting more data in, but you're still only going to see 5 minute average "chunks" (and the larger ones). To actually increase the resolution you're saving at, you'll want to use (I believe) the 'rrdtune' command. Alternatively, some find it easier to export/re-import the data into a new file.

Hey everyone,
I created a custom test and RRD definition because I wanted to reduce the interval time on a few graphs from 5 minute resolution to 1 minute. I got the data to be logged once every minute, which I verified is hitting the RRD. The problem is that when I view the graph it's still got a resolution of 5 minutes.
Here's the partial RRDTool dump:

So the data is getting logged every 60 seconds. It's also rolling up to the 5 second, etc, values.
Here's the line from xymonserver.cfg:
SPLITNCV_cpustat="*:GAUGE:180:0:100" #Configure for 60 second intervals, range of 0-100
Here's the lines from rrddefinitions.cfg: [cpustat] -s 60 RRA:AVERAGE:0.1:1:120 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:5:576 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:30:576 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:120:576 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1440:576 RRA:MAX:0.1:1:120 RRA:MAX:0.5:5:576 RRA:MAX:0.5:30:576 RRA:MAX:0.5:120:576 RRA:MAX:0.5:1440:576
Here's the graph definition: [cpustat] FNPATTERN ^cpustat.(.+).rrd TITLE % CPU usage YAXIS Percent DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:lambda:MAX LINE2:p at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.0lf (cur) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.0lf (max) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.0lf (min) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.0lf (avg)\n
I had read that RRDTool should use the lowest resolution available, which is 1 minute for this RRD. So why are the graphs not going less than 5 minute intervals when zooming in? Any ideas?
Thanks!
