XML format to a file or to stdout. 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 RRRRDD file in a somewhat more convenient manner. _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e_._r_r_d The name of the RRRRDD you want to dump. _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e_._x_m_l The (optional) filename that you want to write the XML output to. If not specified, the XML will be printed to stdout. EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS To transfer an RRD between architectures, follow these steps: 1. On the same system where the RRD was created, use rrrrddttooooll dduummpp to export the data to XML format. 2. Transfer the XML dump to the target system. 3. Run rrrrddttooooll rreessttoorree to create a new RRD from the XML dump. See rrrrddrreessttoorree for details. AAUUTTHHOORR Tobias Oetiker 1.2.27 2008-02-17 RRDDUMP(1)
