Cheshire Cat Computing

First of let me say what a fantastic piece of code works perfectly for my needs.

My boss wants a report on the total amount of traffic from our linux webservers for the previous day/month and week.

I have set up extended time in the routers2.conf, but when I click on the yesterday graph, it gives me data for the last 24 hours i.e 09:50am to 09:50am similarly the last week graph runs from last Tuesday until today.

So my first question is how do I set the yesterday graph up so it displays data for yesterday 00:00 - 23:59 and the last week graph to display data for monday to sunday?

Secondly I've looked in to the archive feature as this sounds interesting would this be more appropriate for what I need?

If you want to see totals for a specific period, IE 00:00 - 23:59, rather than a rolling last 24hours, you'll need to use the RRD Archiving. Then, you can go to the archive for the appropriate day and view the totals for that... this is what we do here.

Set up the rrd-archive script to run every night at 23:55 (for example) and routers2 will automatically spot the archives and make the date dropdown available to you. We keep archives for 3 months at daily level, then monthly for 2 years, then yearly' you may not have enough disk space to do this as it can get BIG.

Future versions may instead work by extending the RRD but this is very problematic when it comes to sanity checks... and it is not easy with the current way the graphs are specified.

Thanks Steve

I will set this up to day and check back in a couple of days time.

Hello,

i want to print out Monthly and Daily Total like i coul do with mrtg-traffic-sum a long time ago.

It seems to me that i am too blind to see se simple sollution, @ http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/forum.en. ... -td5990330
Steve wrote like it is an built in function.

How to enable it?
Or mayby where could it be accidentally disabled by myself?

F*** I found it, in routers2.conf

I had to uncomment: the percentile....
percentile = yes

###
enabling
showtotal = yes
seems not enough

This is because it is actually the same code function that calculates the percentile and totals. Originally, this was a noticeable CPU overhead and so was disabled by default; now with later RRDTools and faster CPUs it is not significant. The default Routers2 install now has percentile=yes included.
