Log::Log4perl::Appender::RRDs - Log to a RRDtool Archive
Contents
Description
"Log::Log4perl::Appender::RRDs" appenders facilitate writing data to RRDtool round-robin archives via
Log4perl. For documentation on RRD and its Perl interface "RRDs" (which comes with the distribution),
check out <http://rrdtool.org>.
Messages sent to Log4perl's RRDs appender are expected to be numerical values (ints or floats), which
then are used to run a "rrdtool update" command on an existing round-robin database. The name of this
database needs to be set in the appender's "dbname" configuration parameter.
If there's more parameters you wish to pass to the "update" method, use the "rrdupd_params" configuration
parameter:
log4perl.appender.RRDapp.rrdupd_params = --template=in:out
To read out the round robin database later on, use "rrdtool fetch" or "rrdtool graph" for graphic
displays.
