37 "Log::Log4perl::Appender::RRDs" appenders facilitate writing data to
38 RRDtool round-robin archives via Log4perl. For documentation on RRD and
39 its Perl interface "RRDs" (which comes with the distribution), check
40 out <http://rrdtool.org>.
41
42 Messages sent to Log4perl's RRDs appender are expected to be numerical
43 values (ints or floats), which then are used to run a "rrdtool update"
44 command on an existing round-robin database. The name of this database
45 needs to be set in the appender's "dbname" configuration parameter.
46
47 If there's more parameters you wish to pass to the "update" method, use
48 the "rrdupd_params" configuration parameter:
49
50 log4perl.appender.RRDapp.rrdupd_params = --template=in:out
51
52 To read out the round robin database later on, use "rrdtool fetch" or
53 "rrdtool graph" for graphic displays.
