rrdrestore1
Restore the contents of an rrd from its xml dump format
Usage
rrdtool restore
filename.xml
filename.rrd
[{--range-check | -r}]
[{--force-overwrite | -f}]
Overview
The restore function reads the XML representation of an RRD and converts it to the native RRD format.
- filename.xml
-
The name of the XML file you want to restore. The special filename "-" (a single dash) is interpreted as standard input.
In order to support the restore command in pipe mode (especially when using
RRDtoolover a network connection), when using "-" as a filename the end of the file can be signaled either by closing the data channel after the file has transferred (as would be the case when using input redirection within a suitable shell) or by sending a crtl-Z / newline combination. This allows one to send more commands to theRRDtoolserver after a restore.
- filename.rrd
-
The name of the RRD to restore.
--range-check|-r-
Make sure the values in the RRAs do not exceed the limits defined for the various data sources.
--force-overwrite|-f-
Allows
RRDtoolto overwrite the destination RRD.
