Re: modify ds value before written in rrd file

For disk use, I always graph used against available instead of graphing
percent full, when a filesystem gets expanded, what happened shows up
clearly in the graph, a much nicer view of the history than percent

Subject: [cricket-users] modify ds value before written in rrd file


Has anyone tried, or perhaps know how to modify a ds value after it is
pulled via SNMP but prior to being written to the rrd file?  

I have an issue where i pull a value, store it in an rrd file and then
calculate a % by using the scale option under the graph.  It works fine,
but if we ever add more total capacity it will throw the history off
when I modify the scale calculations.  I'd like to pull the value via
snmp, calculate the % and then store the % in the rrd file rather than
just a total used so the history will always be accurate.
