Re: Strange issue with large step value

:)
my bad (make not for self -- do not calculate epoch dates by hand)

rrdtool create pymeter-weekdata.rrd \
    --start 1419184800 \
    --step 604800 \
    DS:qtotal:COUNTER:907200:0:100000 \
    RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:53

rrdtool update pymeter-weekdata.rrd 1419789600:50628
rrdtool update pymeter-weekdata.rrd 1420394400:50803
rrdtool update pymeter-weekdata.rrd 1420999200:50959
rrdtool update pymeter-weekdata.rrd 1421604000:51120

rrdtool xport  \
    --start 1419184800 \
    --end 1425236400 \
    --step 604800  \
    DEF:Qtotal=pymeter-weekdata.rrd:qtotal:AVERAGE \
    CDEF:QTot=Qtotal,604800,*,100,/  \
    XPORT:QTot:"Usage\n"

  </data>
</xport>

still not the expected numbers...

Please explain how I convert the above example to an hourly database
without recalculating the values
