.SH "NAME"
rrdcreate \- Set up a new Round Robin Database
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
The create function of RRDtool lets you set up new Round Robin
Database (\fB\s-1RRD\s0\fR) files. The file is created at its final, full size
and filled with \fI*UNKNOWN*\fR data.
-.Sh "\fIfilename\fP"
+.SS "\fIfilename\fP"
.IX Subsection "filename"
The name of the \fB\s-1RRD\s0\fR you want to create. \fB\s-1RRD\s0\fR files should end
with the extension \fI.rrd\fR. However, \fBRRDtool\fR will accept any
filename.

+.SS "\fB\-\-start\fP|\fB\-b\fP \fIstart time\fP (default: now \- 10s)"
.IX Subsection "--start|-b start time (default: now - 10s)"
Specifies the time in seconds since 1970\-01\-01 \s-1UTC\s0 when the first
value should be added to the \fB\s-1RRD\s0\fR. \fBRRDtool\fR will not accept
.PP
See also AT-STYLE \s-1TIME\s0 \s-1SPECIFICATION\s0 section in the
\&\fIrrdfetch\fR documentation for other ways to specify time.

+.SS "\fB\-\-step\fP|\fB\-s\fP \fIstep\fP (default: 300 seconds)"
.IX Subsection "--step|-s step (default: 300 seconds)"
Specifies the base interval in seconds with which data will be fed
into the \fB\s-1RRD\s0\fR.

.IX Subsection "DS:ds-name:DST:dst arguments"
A single \fB\s-1RRD\s0\fR can accept input from several data sources (\fB\s-1DS\s0\fR),
for example incoming and outgoing traffic on a specific communication
names of data source listed previously in the create command. This is
similar to the restriction that \fB\s-1CDEF\s0\fRs must refer only to \fB\s-1DEF\s0\fRs
and \fB\s-1CDEF\s0\fRs previously defined in the same graph command.

.IX Subsection "RRA:CF:cf arguments"
The purpose of an \fB\s-1RRD\s0\fR is to store data in the round robin archives
(\fB\s-1RRA\s0\fR). An archive consists of a number of data values or statistics for
The data is also processed with the consolidation function (\fI\s-1CF\s0\fR) of
the archive. There are several consolidation functions that
consolidate primary data points via an aggregate function: \fB\s-1AVERAGE\s0\fR,
