Boost - cache RRDs - possible not all?

Post by xefil »

Hi to all!

I've installed boost v4.2 and all works well.
I've a problem with a kind of graphs. For some graphs I've created a single RRD summing the traffic of some rrdfiles into a new one. This for report pruposes. It means some RRD files are generated by other RRDs.
Now, the base function of boost is to cache the poller output and update (on demand or not) the files when configured/needed. This cause me that the RRD files created by the sum of other files are not showing the correct sum, because the RRD files from which it takes the values are still not updated by boost.
Is there a way to set some rrd files to *not* be cached and to be updated every time?

Thank's a lot for info!

Do you think in this case is there any advantage using boost if I need to maintain some graphs up to date and so force commit every few rows in boost settings?

I'm not aware of a really matching solution. Else I would have told you ...

Aggregate plugin is more compatible.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
