Log::Log4perl::Appender::RRDs appenders facilitate writing data to RRDtool round-robin archives via Log4perl. For documentation on RRD and its Perl interface RRDs (which comes with the distribution), check out http://rrdtool.org.
Log::Log4perl::Appender::RRDs
RRDs
Messages sent to Log4perl's RRDs appender are expected to be numerical values (ints or floats), which then are used to run a rrdtool update command on an existing round-robin database. The name of this database needs to be set in the appender's dbname configuration parameter.
rrdtool update
dbname
If there's more parameters you wish to pass to the update method, use the rrdupd_params configuration parameter:
update
rrdupd_params
log4perl.appender.RRDapp.rrdupd_params = --template=in:out
To read out the round robin database later on, use rrdtool fetch or rrdtool graph for graphic displays.
