RRDXPORT(1)                         rrdtool                        RRDXPORT(1)



NAME
       rrdxport - Export data in XML format based on data from one or several
       RRD

SYNOPSIS
       rrdtool xport [-s|--start seconds] [-e|--end seconds]
       [-m|--maxrows rows] [--step value] [DEF:vname=rrd:ds-name:CF]
       [CDEF:vname=rpn-expression] [XPORT:vname[:legend]]

DESCRIPTION
       The xport function's main purpose is to write an XML formatted repre-
       sentation of the data stored in one or several RRDs. It can also
       extract numerical reports.

       If no XPORT statements are found, there will be no output.

       -s|--start seconds (default end-1day)
           The time when the exported range should begin. Time in seconds
           since epoch (1970-01-01) is required. Negative numbers are relative
           to the current time. By default one day worth of data will be
           printed.  See also AT-STYLE TIME SPECIFICATION section in the rrd-
           fetch documentation for a detailed explanation on how to specify
           time.

       -e|--end seconds (default now)
           The time when the exported range should end. Time in seconds since
           epoch.  See also AT-STYLE TIME SPECIFICATION section in the rrd-
           fetch documentation for a detailed explanation of ways to specify
           time.

       -m|--maxrows rows (default 400 rows)
           This works like the -w|--width parameter of rrdgraph.  In fact it
           is exactly the same, but the parameter was renamed to describe its
           purpose in this module. See rrdgraph documentation for details.

       --step value (default automatic)
           See rrdgraph documentation.

       --enumds
           The generated xml should contain the data values in enumerated
           tags.

            <v0>val</v0><v1>val</v1>

       DEF:vname=rrd:ds-name:CF
           See rrdgraph documentation.

       CDEF:vname=rpn-expression
           See rrdgraph documentation.

       XPORT:vname::legend
           At least one XPORT statement should be present. The values refer-
           enced by vname are printed. Optionally add a legend.

Output format
       The output is enclosed in an xport element and contains two blocks. The
       first block is enclosed by a meta element and contains some meta data.
       The second block is enclosed by a data element and contains the data
       rows.

       Let's assume that the xport command looks like this:

         rrdtool xport \
                 --start now-1h --end now \
                 DEF:xx=host-inout.lo.rrd:output:AVERAGE \
                 DEF:yy=host-inout.lo.rrd:input:AVERAGE \
                 CDEF:aa=xx,yy,+,8,* \
                 XPORT:xx:"out bytes" \
                 XPORT:aa:"in and out bits"

       The resulting meta data section is (the values will depend on the RRD
       characteristics):

         <meta>
           <start>1020611700</start>
           <step>300</step>
           <end>1020615600</end>
           <rows>14</rows>
           <columns>2</columns>
           <legend>
             <entry>out bytes</entry>
             <entry>in and out bits</entry>
           </legend>
         </meta>

       The resulting data section is:

         <data>
           <row><t>1020611700</t><v>3.4000000000e+00</v><v>5.4400000000e+01</v></row>
