The RRD file extension is associated with RRDtool, which is an open source data logging and graphing application for the UNIX platform. It stands for Reduced Resolution Dataset, and is used to store time-series data too large for oracle databases. RRD is a round-robin database format, and is designed for monitoring system data over time. RRD files are commonly found in disk storage, network routers, traffic monitoring, and performance analysis tasks.
Structure of.RRD File Extension
The internal structure of an RRD file consists of up to eight data sources, such as temperature or load; one round-robin archive for each data source; and one optional consolidation function. The consolidated archives act like a summarized version of the original data sources. Data is stored in 8K blocks that represent a single row of data within each data source. Rows generally contain the time of the sample, rate (per second), and total since the reset point. This data can then be read back into RRDtool applications using the RRDs command.
Similar File Extensions
The RRD file extension can also be referred to as similar file extensions like .RAD, .RDF, and .PIE. All of these files are related to script-based command line tools used for various data analysis tasks.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RRD) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RRD extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RRD file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RRD extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RRD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RRD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RRD file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RRD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RRD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RRD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
