Description-en: time-series data storage and display system (programs)
The Round Robin Database Tool (RRDtool) is a system to store and display
time-series data (e.g. network bandwidth, machine-room temperature,
server load average). It stores the data in Round Robin Databases (RRDs),
a very compact way that will not expand over time. RRDtool processes the
extracted data to enforce a certain data density, allowing for useful
graphical representation of data values.
.
RRDtool is often used via various wrappers that can poll data from devices
and feed data into RRDs, as well as provide a friendlier user interface and
customized graphs.
.
This package contains command-line programs used to access and manipulate
RRDs.
