Hello,
I’ve been trying to set up a custom step value in the payload of a metric API call (/domain-types/metric/actions/get/invoke) which by default returns a very big value (6 hours) with considerable time ranges (~3 months)
I’d like to get hourly extractions by defining the step value that I receive in the response.
Is this possible to achieve? I know one solution would probably to do multiple extractions with smaller time frames, but I’d like to avoid that if possible.
I’m not sure if it’s a feature meant to get you less results with bigger timestamps, but it would be nice to manually set the step value when needed (if available)
Hi,
I have the same problem. I want to extract datapoints from the last month. The first six hours can be fetched in 1-minute steps. After that it gets compressed into 2-minute steps. I know we could generate a lot of network load when we fetch data in 1-minute steps from the last year. But it would still be nice if we could define if we want to compress the data or not.
Is there an option to do that?
This is a different problem from the original one. In your case the RRD definition defines the data resolution.
The default settings are:
1 minute resolution for → 48 hours
5 minute resolution for → 10 days
30 minute resolution for → 90 days
6 hour resolution for → 4 years
Have a look at the rules “Configuration of RRD databases of services/hosts” or if you use the RAW edition, the definition can be done inside the config files under ~/etc/pnp4nagios/.
In the post here the problem is that the metrics API only gives the datapoints back that are also shown inside the graph not all, also if there are more available.
