What is RSD?RSD synchronize RRD transactions between multiple clients sharing common Round Robin Databases. This allow multiple applications to use the same group of Round Robin Databases without a need for any locking. RRD is a system to store and display time-series data (i.e. network bandwidth, machine-room temperature, server load average, etc). It stores the data in a very compact way that will not expand over time, and it presents useful graphs by processing the data to enforce a certain data density. Package history
The story behind RSDA few years ago I was looking for an SNMP collector that would both do the job I wanted it to do and that would be simple to configure. After an extensive search I gave up the idea and since I wanted to write a client side application using my TinySNMP api anyway, I decided to write a program called Orca. Orca was very easy to setup and did the job it was intended to do, but had a few problems of its own, so I decided to rewrite it. This new implementation needed concurrent access to RRD databases and so RSD was born. |
