=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Log::Log4perl::Appender::RRDs> appenders facilitate writing data
to RRDtool round-robin archives via Log4perl. For documentation
on RRD and its Perl interface C<RRDs> (which comes with the distribution),
check out L<http://rrdtool.org>.
Messages sent to Log4perl's RRDs appender are expected to be numerical values
(ints or floats), which then are used to run a C<rrdtool update> command
on an existing round-robin database. The name of this database needs to
be set in the appender's C<dbname> configuration parameter.
If there's more parameters you wish to pass to the C<update> method,
use the C<rrdupd_params> configuration parameter:
    log4perl.appender.RRDapp.rrdupd_params = --template=in:out
To read out the round robin database later on, use C<rrdtool fetch>
or C<rrdtool graph> for graphic displays.
