NAME

6       rrdinfo - extract header information from an RRD
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rrdtool info filename [--daemon address]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The info function prints the header information from an RRD in a
13       parsing friendly format.
14
15       Check rrdcreate if you are uncertain about the meaning of the
16       individual keys.
17
18       filename
19               The name of the RRD you want to examine.
20
21       --daemon address
22               Address of the rrdcached daemon. If specified, a "flush"
23               command is sent to the server before reading the RRD files.
24               This allows rrdtool to return fresh data even if the daemon is
25               configured to cache values for a long time.  For a list of
26               accepted formats, see the -l option in the rrdcached manual.

EXAMPLE

31       This is the output generated by running info on a simple RRD which
32       contains two data sources and one RRA. Note that the number after the
33       last_update keyword is in seconds since 1970. The string NaN stands for
34       *UNKNOWN* data. In the example it means that this RRD has neither
35       minimum nor maximum values defined for either of its data sources.
36
37        filename = "random.rrd"
38        rrd_version = "0001"
39        step = 300
40        last_update = 955892996
41        header_size = 2872
42        ds[a].type = "GAUGE"
43        ds[a].minimal_heartbeat = 600
44        ds[a].min = NaN
45        ds[a].max = NaN
46        ds[a].last_ds = "UNKN"
47        ds[a].value = 2.1824421548e+04
48        ds[a].unknown_sec = 0
49        ds[b].type = "GAUGE"
50        ds[b].minimal_heartbeat = 600
51        ds[b].min = NaN
52        ds[b].max = NaN
53        ds[b].last_ds = "UNKN"
54        ds[b].value = 3.9620838224e+03
55        ds[b].unknown_sec = 0
56        rra[0].cf = "AVERAGE"
57        rra[0].pdp_per_row = 1
58        rra[0].cdp_prep[0].value = nan
59        rra[0].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 0
60        rra[0].cdp_prep[1].value = nan
61        rra[0].cdp_prep[1].unknown_datapoints = 0
62

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

64       The following environment variables may be used to change the behavior
65       of "rrdtool info":
66
67       RRDCACHED_ADDRESS
68           If this environment variable is set it will have the same effect as
69           specifying the "--daemon" option on the command line. If both are
70           present, the command line argument takes precedence.
