## Package org.rrd4j Description

RRD4J is a high performance data logging and graphing system for time series data, implementing RRDTool's functionality in Java. It follows much of the same logic and uses the same data sources, archive types and definitions as RRDTool does.

RRD4J supports all standard operations on Round Robin Database (RRD) files: CREATE, UPDATE, FETCH, LAST, DUMP, XPORT and GRAPH. RRD4J's API is made for those who are familiar with RRDTool's concepts and logic, but prefer to work with pure java. If you provide the same data to RRDTool and RRD4J, you will get very similar results and graphs.

RRD4J does not use native functions and libraries, has no Runtime.exec() calls and does not require RRDTool to be present. RRD4J is distributed as a software library (jar files) and comes with full java source code (Apache License 2.0).

You will not understand a single thing here if you are not already familiar with RRDTool. Basic concepts and terms (such as: datasource, archive, datasource type, consolidation functions, archive steps/rows, heartbeat, RRD step, RPN, graph DEFs and CDEFs) are not explained here because they have exactly the same meaning in RRD4J and RRDTool. If you are a novice RRDTool/RRD4J user, this annotated RRDTool tutorial is a good place to start. A, adapted version for RRD4J is available
