FAQ for remstats

This is only a proto-FAQ, with stuff I couldn't figure out where to document.

  1. snmp-collector complains that I don't have SNMP_Session installed, but I don't want SNMP. Do I have to collect and install it?

    No you don't. Modify the collectors line in the general config-file to exclude snmp.

  2. I modified the RRD definition, adding a new RRA, but remstats is ignoring it. How do I do this?

    Sorry. At the moment, remstats won't propagate any changes to the RRD structure after creation. Some changes, like extending RRAs and changing min/max for DSs can be done manually with rrdtool. If you do use rrdtool manually, I recommend that you modify the rrd definition as well, to keep them in sync. At some point in the future, I'd like to try to do this kind of update, and it's more likely to succeed if remstats' rrd definition matches what's in the actual RRD.
