Hello,

I've got some folks here that want to keep data all the time. ie. They don't want to use a Round Robin Database that averages the data over time. They want the 5 minute data forever.

I know we can get into a debate as to the reality of this, but it's want the performance team here wants. If hobbit can't do it, they want me to use sar and input to another database.

Is there a way to do this with Hobbit?

Anyone else had this come up? I created a perl script that updates all rrd files. It adds MAX and MIN. It also adds more data point. It uses more space to store, but the MAX and MIN can be handy to find out peaks. The extra data points are handy to zoom in on older data.
