I have a bunch of old rrd files taking up space that are no longer needed Will I get myself in trouble if I delete them? Is there a better way to clean them up?
The specific files in question are ifstat files with bogus data that were created due to a bbwin client bug on windows 2008 servers

Nope, there's no active state that uses them; they're inaccessible unless you plug the host data in manually to a URL. And even if they were being used, they'd be re-created the next time data comes in and you'd simply lose your graphed history (not status-change history).

Hello,
I have a bunch of old rrd files taking up space that are no longer needed Will I get myself in trouble if I delete them? As far as I know, no. I periodically remove RRD files which have not been changed for at least a week.
Is there a better way to clean them up? You might take a look at http://xymonton.org/addons:finit It is a script which generates a shell script to delete RRD files which have not been modified for a week.
Regards, Wim Nelis.

The specific files in question are ifstat files with bogus data that were created due to a bbwin client bug on windows 2008 servers I have a cron job that cleans up these bogus files on an ongoing basis. Helps keeps the trends graphs moderately sensible too...
Worth checking last modified time - for example "disk" test will acquire RRDs for mounted disk images on some MacOSX too.
