Class DsDef

java.lang.Object
org.rrd4j.core.DsDef

public class DsDef extends Object

Class to represent single data source definition within the RRD. Datasource definition consists of the following five elements:

  • data source type
  • heartbeat
  • minimal value
  • maximal value

For the complete explanation of all source definition parameters, see RRDTool's rrdcreate man page.

    • DsDef

      public DsDef(String dsName, DsType dsType, long heartbeat, double minValue, double maxValue)
      Creates new data source definition object. This object should be passed as argument to addDatasource() method of RrdDb object.

      For the complete explanation of all source definition parameters, see RRDTool's rrdcreate man page

      IMPORTANT NOTE: If datasource name ends with '!', corresponding archives will never store NaNs as datasource values. In that case, NaN datasource values will be silently replaced with zeros by the framework.

      Parameters:
      dsName - Data source name.
      dsType - Data source type. Valid values are "COUNTER", "GAUGE", "DERIVE" and "ABSOLUTE" (these string constants are conveniently defined in the DsType class).
      heartbeat - Hearbeat
      minValue - Minimal value. Use Double.NaN if unknown.
      maxValue - Maximal value. Use Double.NaN if unknown.
  • Method Details

    • getDsName

      public String getDsName()
      Returns data source name.
      Returns:
      Data source name.
    • getDsType

      public DsType getDsType()
      Returns source type.
      Returns:
      Source type ("COUNTER", "GAUGE", "DERIVE" or "ABSOLUTE").
    • getHeartbeat

      public long getHeartbeat()
      Returns source heartbeat.
      Returns:
      Source heartbeat.
    • getMinValue

      public double getMinValue()
      Returns minimal calculated source value.
      Returns:
      Minimal value.
    • getMaxValue

      public double getMaxValue()
      Returns maximal calculated source value.
      Returns:
      Maximal value.
    • dump

      public String dump()
      Returns string representing source definition (RRDTool format).
      Returns:
      String containing all data source definition parameters.
    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object obj)
      Checks if two datasource definitions are equal. Source definitions are treated as equal if they have the same source name. It is not possible to create RRD with two equal archive definitions.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
    • exactlyEqual

      boolean exactlyEqual(DsDef def)
