NAME
rrdrestore - Restore the contents of an RRD from its XML dump format
SYNOPSIS
rrdtool restore filename.xml filename.rrd
[
--range-check|
-r]
[
--force-overwrite|
-f]
DESCRIPTION
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 RRDtool over 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 the
RRDtool server 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 RRDtool to overwrite the destination RRD.
