=======
rrdtool =======

-------------------
Module: mod_rrdtool
-------------------

.. contents:: Table of Contents

Description ===========

RRD_ is a system to store and display time-series data (i.e. network
bandwidth, machine-room temperature, server load average).

.. _RRD: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/

Options =======

rrdtool.binary
path to the rrdtool binary

e.g.: ::
rrdtool.binary = "/usr/bin/rrdtool"

rrdtool.db-name
filename of the rrd-database. Make sure that <rrdtool.db-name> doesn't exist
before the first run, as lighttpd has to create the DB for you.

e.g.: ::
rrdtool.db-name = "/var/www/lighttpd.rrd"

Generating Graphs =================
Four things must be done to generate graphs:

1. Enable the mod_rrdtool in lighttpd.conf (as above)
2. Create/Edit the script provided below (as it generates the graphs).
I call it rrdtool.sh, make sure you have eXecute permissions on it (chmod +x)
3. Create an HTML page to output the images (provided at the end bottom)
4. Run the script and add to Cron.
