Setting Datatype in RRD for Performance Data

Post by ryanb »

This is a follow up to my last post: https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 16&t=34982, which was answered by @jdalrymple

So an RRD file was automatically created for my custom plugin. However, it seems that the datatype for every variable has been set to GAGUE, and I need some of them to be handled as COUNTERs (i.e. for each period, only the increase should be graphed). Can you please advise how I can configure this?

Thanks,
Ryan

Nevermind- I see that the problem is I need to follow each value in the perf data with a 'c' to indicate it is a counter. Please close this out.
