RRDINFO(1) rrdtool RRDINFO(1)
NAME
rrdinfo - extract header information from an RRD
SYNOPSIS
rrdtool info filename [--daemon address]
DESCRIPTION
The info function prints the header information from an RRD in a parsing friendly format.
Check rrdcreate if you are uncertain about the meaning of the individual keys.
filename
The name of the RRD you want to examine.
--daemon address
Address of the rrdcached daemon. If specified, a "flush" command is sent to the server before reading
the RRD files. This allows rrdtool to return fresh data even if the daemon is configured to cache
values for a long time. For a list of accepted formats, see the -l option in the rrdcached manual.
rrdtool info --daemon unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock /var/lib/rrd/foo.rrd
EXAMPLE
This is the output generated by running info on a simple RRD which contains two data sources and one RRA. Note
that the number after the last_update keyword is in seconds since 1970. The string NaN stands for *UNKNOWN*
data. In the example it means that this RRD has neither minimum nor maximum values defined for either of its
data sources.
filename = "random.rrd"
rrd_version = "0001"
step = 300
last_update = 955892996
