Python bindings for RRDtool with a native C extension.
Supported Python versions: 2.6+, 3.3+.
The bindings are based on the code of the original Python 2 bindings for rrdtool by Hye-Shik Chang, which are currently shipped as official bindings with rrdtool.
The easy way:
# pip install rrdtool
Note: This requires rrdtool and it's development files (headers, libraries, dependencies) to be installed.
In case you'd like to build the module on your own, you can obtain a copy of the repository and run python setup.py install in it's destination folder to build the native C extension.
import rrdtool
# Create Round Robin Database
rrdtool.create('test.rrd', '--start', 'now', '--step', '300', 'RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200', 'DS:temp:GAUGE:600:-273:5000')
# Feed updates to the RRD
rrdtool.update('test.rrd', 'N:32')Released 2015-08-10
- Added xport command
- Added lastupdate command
- Removed high-level interface (RRDtool module)
- Improved documentation of functions
- Code cleanup by using convenience macros
- On Python 2.x, str objects are returned instead of unicode objects
- Merged some changes from upstream
- License changed to LGPL 2.1 to match upstream licensing
Released 2013-12-19
- Added support for Python 2.7 (other 2.x versions might also work, but its not tested)
- Added dump command
- Fixed some issues regarding generating graphs with
graphvon Python 3.3
Please note: The graph method in the object-oriented RRD class will now return a dict by default (as returned by graphv). Only if the output_file parameter is None, the actual graph image bytes are returned. Python 3.3 will return a bytes object whereas Python 2.x will return a str object.
Released 2012-09-17
- Initial release.
- Support for Python 3.x added
- Updated documentation strings (
__doc__) for each of the rrdtool functions

This binding was created because I am currently porting some existing Python 2 code to Python 3 and try to help the community by contributing a updated binding extension. Hope someone can benefit from it.
If you encounter any bugs (which I expected at time of writing this), please submit them in the issue tracker here on the project page on Github. Thank you.
