Method Details | [hide private]

### __init__(self, defaultRrdCreateCommand, defaultCycleTime) (Constructor) | source code
Initializer The RRD creation command is only used if the RRD file doesn't exist and no rrdCommand was specified with the save() method. Parameters: `defaultRrdCreateCommand` (string) - RRD creation command `defaultCycleTime` (integer) - expected time to periodically collect data

### endCycle(self) | source code
Report on the number of data points collected in a cycle, and reset the counter for a new cycle. Returns: number number of data points collected during the cycle

### performancePath(self, path) | source code
Given a path, return its location from $ZENHOME and the perf/ directories. Parameters: `path` (string) - name for a datapoint in a path (eg device/component/datasource_datapoint) Returns: string absolute path

### getStep(self, cycleTime) | source code
Return the step value for the provided cycleTime. This is a hook for altering the default step calculation.

### getHeartbeat(self, cycleTime) | source code
Return the heartbeat value for the provided cycleTime. This is a hook for altering the default heartbeat calculation.

### save(self, path, value, rrdType, rrdCommand=None, cycleTime=None, min='U', max='U') | source code
Save the value provided in the command to the RRD file specified in path. If the RRD file does not exist, use the rrdType, rrdCommand, min and max parameters to create the file. Parameters: `path` (string) - name for a datapoint in a path (eg device/component/datasource_datapoint) `value` (number) - value to store into the RRD file `rrdType` (string) - RRD data type (eg ABSOLUTE, DERIVE, COUNTER) `rrdCommand` (string) - RRD file creation command `cycleTime` (number) - length of a cycle `min` (number) - minimum value acceptable for this metric `max` (number) - maximum value acceptable for this metric Returns: number or None the parameter value converted to a number
