SYNOPSIS¶

use RRDs;
my $DB = "myrrddb.dat";
RRDs::create(
$DB, "--step=1",
"DS:myvalue:GAUGE:2:U:U",
"RRA:MAX:0.5:1:120");
print time(), "\n";
Log::Log4perl->init(\qq{
log4perl.category = INFO, RRDapp
log4perl.appender.RRDapp = Log::Log4perl::Appender::RRDs
log4perl.appender.RRDapp.dbname = $DB
log4perl.appender.RRDapp.layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.RRDapp.layout.ConversionPattern = N:%m

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