With the DS configuration option you must define some basic -- properties of each data source you want to store in the RRD. -- -- /NOTE on COUNTER vs DERIVE/ -- -- by Don Baarda -- -- If you cannot tolerate ever mistaking the occasional counter reset -- for a legitimate counter wrap, and would prefer \"Unknowns\" for -- all legitimate counter wraps and resets, always use DERIVE with -- @'dsMin' = 0@. Otherwise, using COUNTER with a suitable max will -- return correct values for all legitimate counter wraps, mark some -- counter resets as \"Unknown\", but can mistake some counter resets -- for a legitimate counter wrap. -- -- For a 5 minute step and 32-bit counter, the probability of -- mistaking a counter reset for a legitimate wrap is arguably about -- 0.8% per 1Mbps of maximum bandwidth. Note that this equates to 80% -- for 100Mbps interfaces, so for high bandwidth interfaces and a -- 32bit counter, DERIVE with @'dsMin' = 0@ is probably preferable. If -- you are using a 64bit counter, just about any max setting will -- eliminate the possibility of mistaking a reset for a counter wrap. data DataSource = -- |GAUGE is for things like temperatures or number of people in -- a room or the value of a RedHat share. GAUGE { -- |The name you will use to reference this particular data -- source from an RRD.

If 'dsMin' and\/or 'dsMax' -- any value outside the defined range will be regarded as -- @*UNKNOWN*@. If you do not know or care about 'dsMin' and -- 'dsMax', set them to 'Nothing' for unknown. Note that -- 'dsMin' and 'dsMax' always refer to the processed values of -- the DS. For a traffic-'COUNTER' type DS this would be the -- maximum and minimum data-rate expected from the device. -- -- If information on minimal\/maximal expected values is -- available, always set the min and\/or max properties. This -- will help RRDtool in doing a simple sanity check on the -- data supplied when running update. , dsMin :: !(Maybe Double) -- |See 'dsMin'. , dsMax :: !(Maybe Double) } -- |COUNTER is for continuous incrementing counters like the -- ifInOctets counter in a router. The COUNTER data source -- assumes that the counter never decreases, except when a -- counter overflows. The update function takes the overflow -- into account. The counter is stored as a per-second -- rate. When the counter overflows, RRDtool checks if the -- overflow happened at the 32bit or 64bit border and acts -- accordingly by adding an appropriate value to the result. | COUNTER { dsName :: !String , dsHeartbeat :: !NominalDiffTime , dsMin :: !(Maybe Double) , dsMax :: !(Maybe Double) } -- |DERIVE will store the derivative of the line going from the -- last to the current value of the data source. This can be -- useful for gauges, for example, to measure the rate of people -- entering or leaving a room. Internally, derive works exactly -- like COUNTER but without overflow checks. So if your counter -- does not reset at 32 or 64 bit you might want to use DERIVE -- and combine it with a 'dsMin' value of 0. | DERIVE { dsName :: !String , dsHeartbeat :: !NominalDiffTime , dsMin :: !(Maybe Double) , dsMax :: !(Maybe Double) } -- |ABSOLUTE is for counters which get reset upon reading. This -- is used for fast counters which tend to overflow. So instead -- of reading them normally you reset them after every read to -- make sure you have a maximum time available before the next -- overflow. Another usage is for things you count like number -- of messages since the last update. | ABSOLUTE { dsName :: !String , dsHeartbeat :: !NominalDiffTime , dsMin :: !(Maybe Double) , dsMax :: !(Maybe Double) } -- |COMPUTE is for storing the result of a formula applied to -- other data sources in the RRD. This data source is not -- supplied a value on update, but rather its Primary Data -- Points (PDPs) are computed from the PDPs of the data sources -- according to the rpn-expression that defines the -- formula. Consolidation functions are then applied normally to -- the PDPs of the COMPUTE data source (that is the -- rpn-expression is only applied to generate PDPs). In database -- software, such data sets are referred to as \"virtual\" or -- \"computed\" columns. -- -- FIXME: doc links | COMPUTE { dsName :: !String -- |rpn-expression defines the formula used to compute the PDPs -- of a COMPUTE data source from other data sources in the same -- \.

In addition, in defining the RPN expression, the -- COMPUTE data source may only refer to the names of data -- source listed previously in the create command.
