README for removespikes.pl This version of removespikes.pl is based on Vins Vilaplana and Humberto Rossetti Baptistas code. I have added value-based chopping (-t value), an analysis-only mode (-a), control of verbose/debug output (-d/-v), a help option (-h) and some code cleanup. removespikes>./removespikes.pl -h REMOVESPIKES: Remove spikes from RRDtool databases. Usage: ./removespikes.pl -d -a [-l number] [-t maxval] name_of_database Where: -d enables debug messages -a runs only the analysis phase of the script -h prints this message -l sets the % limit of spikes bin-based chopping (default: 0.6) -t sets the value above which records are chopped. Disabled by default. Enabling value-based chopping will disable bin-based chopping -v Verbose mode. Shows some information name_of_database is the rrd file to be treated. removespikes> Enjoy Martin (knobi at knobisoft dot de)
