    43 .SH DESCRIPTION

    44 .sp

    45 rateup is a fast add-on to the great MRTG Traffic monitor. It makes 

    46 the database file updates much faster, and creates the graphic image

    47 files, ready for processing by PPMTOGIF.  It also reduces memory

    48 requirements by a factor of 10, and increases the speed of updates

    49 by a factor of at least 10.  This makes it feasible to run mrtg

    50 every 5 minutes.

    51 .sp

    52 rateup attempts to compensate for missed updates by repeating the last

    53 sample, and also tries to catch bad update times.  The .log file stores

    54 real history every five minutes for 31 hours, then 'compresses' the

    55 history into 30 minute samples for a week, then 2-hour samples for

    56 31 days, then daily samples for two years.  This ensures that the

    57 log files don't grow in size.

    58 .sp

    59 The log files are a slightly different format, but convert.perl

    60 will fix that for you.
