I have several graphs created by RRDTool that collected bad data during a time period of a couple hours.

How can I remove the data from the RRD's during that time period so that it no longer displays?

Best method I found to do this...

  1. Use RRDTool Dump to export RRD files to XML.
  2. Open the XML file, find and edit the bad data.
  3. Restore the RRD file using RRDTool Restore .
