Question & Answer

Question

What is RRDTool?

Answer

RRDtool is the OpenSource industry standard, high performance data logging and graphing system for time series data. RRDtool can be easily integrated in shell scripts, perl, python, ruby, lua or tcl applications. Though it is a database, there are distinct differences between RRDtool databases and other databases.
RRDtool is designed to store time series of data. With every data update, an associated time stamp is stored. Time is always expressed in seconds passed since epoch (01-01-1970). RRDtool can be installed on Unix as well as Windows. It comes with a command set to carry out various operations on RRD databases. This command set can be accessed from the command line, as well as from Shell or Perl scripts. The scripts act as wrappers for accessing data stored in RRDtool databases.
