Class Overview

Class used to perform various complex operations on RRD files. Use an instance of the RrdToolkit class to:

  • add datasource to a RRD file.
  • add archive to a RRD file.
  • remove datasource from a RRD file.
  • remove archive from a RRD file.

All these operations can be performed on the copy of the original RRD file, or on the original file itself (with possible backup file creation)

IMPORTANT: NEVER use methods found in this class on 'live' RRD files (files which are currently in use).

Public Methods

public static void addArchive (String sourcePath, String destPath, ArcDef newArchive)

Creates a new RRD file with one more archive in it. RRD file is created based on the existing one (the original RRD file is not modified at all). All data from the original RRD file is copied to the new one.

Parameters
sourcePath path to a RRD file to import data from (will not be modified)
destPath path to a new RRD file (will be created)
newArchive Archive definition to be added to the new RRD file
Throws
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public static void addArchive (String sourcePath, ArcDef newArchive, boolean saveBackup)

Adds one more archive to a RRD file.

WARNING: This method is potentialy dangerous! It will modify your RRD file. It is highly recommended to preserve the original RRD file (saveBackup should be set to true). The backup file will be created in the same directory as the original one with .bak extension added to the original name.

Before applying this method, be sure that the specified RRD file is not in use (not open)

Parameters
sourcePath path to a RRD file to add datasource to.
newArchive Archive definition to be added to the RRD file
saveBackup true, if backup of the original file should be created; false, otherwise
Throws
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public static void addDatasource (String sourcePath, String destPath, DsDef newDatasource)

Creates a new RRD file with one more datasource in it. RRD file is created based on the existing one (the original RRD file is not modified at all). All data from the original RRD file is copied to the new one.

Parameters
sourcePath path to a RRD file to import data from (will not be modified)
destPath path to a new RRD file (will be created)
newDatasource Datasource definition to be added to the new RRD file
Throws
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public static void addDatasource (String sourcePath, DsDef newDatasource, boolean saveBackup)

Adds one more datasource to a RRD file.

WARNING: This method is potentially dangerous! It will modify your RRD file. It is highly recommended to preserve the original RRD file (saveBackup should be set to true). The backup file will be created in the same directory as the original one with .bak extension added to the original name.

Before applying this method, be sure that the specified RRD file is not in use (not open)

Parameters
sourcePath path to a RRD file to add datasource to.
newDatasource Datasource definition to be added to the RRD file

Throws
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public static int forceZerosForNans (String sourcePath, String dsName)

Updates single or all datasource names in the specified RRD file by appending '!' (if not already present). Datasources with names ending with '!' will never store NaNs in RRA archives (zero value will be used instead). Might be useful from time to time

Parameters
sourcePath Path to a RRD file

Returns
  • Number of datasources successfully renamed
Throws
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public static String[] getCanonicalPaths (String directory, String extension, boolean resursive)

Returns list of canonical file names with the specified extension in the given directory. This method is not RRD related, but might come handy to create a quick list of all RRD files in the given directory.

Parameters
directory Source directory
extension File extension (like ".rrd", ".jrb", ".rrd.jrb")
resursive true if all subdirectories should be traversed for the same extension, false otherwise
Returns
  • Array of sorted canonical file names with the given extension
Throws
IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public static void removeArchive (String sourcePath, String destPath, ConsolFun consolFun, int steps)

IOException Thrown in case of I/O error

public static void removeArchive (String sourcePath, ConsolFun consolFun, int steps, boolean saveBackup)

Removes one archive from a RRD file.

WARNING: This method is potentialy dangerous! It will modify your RRD file. It is highly recommended to preserve the original RRD file (saveBackup should be set to true). The backup file will be created in the same directory as the original one with .bak extension added to the original name.

Before applying this method, be sure that the specified RRD file is not in use (not open)

Parameters
