rrdlast

# NAME

rrdlast - Return the date of the last data sample in an RRD

# SYNOPSIS

rrdtool last filename [--daemon|-d address]

# DESCRIPTION

The last function returns the UNIX timestamp of the most recent update of the RRD.

filename

  The name of the RRD that contains the data.

--daemon|-d address

  Address of the rrdcached daemon. If specified, a `flush` command is sent to the server before reading the RRD files. This allows rrdtool to return fresh data even if the daemon is configured to cache values for a long time. For a list of accepted formats, see the -l option in the rrdcached manual.

       rrdtool last --daemon unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock /var/lib/rrd/foo.rrd

# ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The following environment variables may be used to change the behavior of `rrdtool last`:

RRDCACHED_ADDRESS

  If this environment variable is set it will have the same effect as specifying the `--daemon` option on the command line. If both are present, the command line argument takes precedence.
