[Orca-users] Re: Graphing Very Low Freq. Data

[orca at cwe.com]

The global config 'interval' is set to once a day, the reading is 
taken at 10:30am. I assumed the problem was with the data 
crunching, that RRDtool does, to squeeze the data into weekly and 
monthly graphs, without the log files growing the exponentially. I am 
looking through the man page for RRDs now, it will probably take 
awhile, since I am little clueless as to how this thing works. 
Thanks,Jim
