[Renato Yamazaki <>]

Hello everyone,

I installed the perfsonar RRD MA service on my machine,
but I can't see any rrd files. (directory /var/run/geant2-java-rrd-ma/ is
empty)

in service.properties:
    service.ma.xmldb.db_store.data_dir=/var/run/geant2-java-rrd-ma
    service.ma.xmldb.db_store=on
    service.ma.rrd.rrd_storage_manager_rrd_step_default=300
    
service.ma.rrd.rrd_storage_manager_rrd_ds_type_default=counter:1800:0:10000000000000
    
service.ma.rrd.rrd_storage_manager_rrd_RRA_default=MAX:0.5:1:600,MAX:0.5:6:600,MAX:0.5:24:600,AVERAGE:0.5:288:600,AVERAGE:0.5:1:600,AVERAGE:0.5:24:600,MAX:0.5:288:600,AVERAGE:0.5:6:600
