DESCRIPTION

17       rateup is a fast add-on to the great MRTG Traffic monitor. It makes the
18       database file updates much faster, and creates the graphic image files,
19       ready for processing by PPMTOGIF.  It also reduces memory requirements
20       by a factor of 10, and increases the speed of updates by a factor of at
21       least 10.  This makes it feasible to run mrtg every 5 minutes.
22
23       rateup attempts to compensate for missed updates by repeating the last
24       sample, and also tries to catch bad update times.  The .log file stores
25       real history every five minutes for 31 hours, then 'compresses' the
26       history into 30 minute samples for a week, then 2-hour samples for 31
27       days, then daily samples for two years.  This ensures that the log
28       files don't grow in size.
29
30       The log files are a slightly different format, but convert.perl will
31       fix that for you.
