RRDRESIZE(1)			    rrdtool			  RRDRESIZE(1)

NAME
       rrdresize - alters the size of an RRA and creates a new .rrd file

SYNOPSIS
       rrdtool resize filename rra-num	GROW|SHRINK rows

DESCRIPTION
       The resize function is used to modify the number	of rows	in an RRA.

       filename
	       the name	of the RRD you want to alter.

       rra-num the  RRA	 you want to alter. You	can find the number using rrd-
	       tool info.

       GROW    used if you want	to add extra rows to an	RRA.  The  extra  rows
	       will be inserted	as the rows that are oldest.

       SHRINK  used if you want	to remove rows from an RRA. The	rows that will
	       be removed are the oldest rows.

       rows    the number of rows you want to add or remove.

NOTES
       The  new	 .rrd file, with the modified RRAs, is written to the file re-
       size.rrd	in the current directory.  The original	.rrd file is not modi-
       fied.

       It is possible to abuse this tool and get strange results by first  re-
       moving  some  rows  and	then  reinserting the same amount (effectively
       clearing	them to	be Unknown). You may thus end up with unknown data  in
       one  RRA	 while at the same timestamp this data is available in another
       RRA.
