NAME
rrddump - dump the contents of an RRD to XML format
SYNOPSIS
rrdtool
dump
filename.rrd
>
filename.xml
DESCRIPTION
The
dump
function prints the contents of an
RRD
in human
readable (?) XML format. This format can be read by rrdrestore.
Together they allow you to transfer your files from one computer architecture
to another as well to manipulate the contents of an
RRD
file in a
somewhat more convenient manner.
filename.rrd
The name of the
RRD
you want to dump.
EXAMPLES
To transfer an RRD between architectures, follow these steps:
On the same system where the RRD was created, use
rrdtool
dump
to export the data to XML format.
Transfer the XML dump to the target system.
Run
rrdtool
restore
to create a new RRD from the XML dump. See
rrdrestore
for details.
