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
       representation 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
           rrdfetch 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
           rrdfetch 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
           referenced 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>
