This gem includes the RRDtool Ruby bindings from the RRDtool sources. It should help people that are unable to use or don't have some kind of librrd-ruby operating system package.

The extconf.rb tries to guess the librrd version installed on your system. If it doesn't work, please try to adjust the ext/librrd/extconf.rb file and submit a pull request or open an issue.

The following systems, RRDtool versions and Ruby versions have been tested.

• Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (RRDtool 1.3.8)
  • Ruby 1.9.2p0, 1.8.7p302
  • Rubinius 1.1.0, 2.0.0pre
  • ruby-enterpriseedition 1.8.7 2010.02
• Ubuntu 11.04 (RRDtool 1.4.3)
  • Ruby 1.9.2p180, Ruby 1.8.7p334
• Ubuntu 13.04 (RRDtool 1.4.7)
  • Ruby 1.9.3p194
• CentOS 5.5 (RRDtool 1.2.27)
  • ruby-enterpriseedition 1.8.6 20090610
• OpenBSD 4.8 (RRDtool 1.2.30)
  • Ruby 1.9.2p0, 1.8.7p302
• Mac OS X 10.7.2 (RRDtool 1.4.5, Homebrew)
  • Ruby 1.9.3p0

Make sure you have the development package of librrd installed. (like librrd-dev on Debian/Ubuntu) Then you can just gem install.

gem install librrd

Build the C extension:

rake build_rrd

Run the tests:

rake test

Please test the gem on different systems with different RRDtool versions and report success and/or failure. Open issues and/or submit pull requests with fixes.

Thank you!
