Package: python-pyrrd
Version: 0.1.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
When using the external backend, pyrrd does not properly sanitize the
filename parameter passed to the shell and, for example, fails to use /
create a database with spaces in the filename.
A simple example adapted from the doctests::
>>> from pyrrd.rrd import DataSource, RRA, RRD
>>> filename = 'a test.rrd'
>>> dataSources = []
>>> roundRobinArchives = []
>>> dataSource = DataSource(dsName='speed', dsType='COUNTER', heartbeat=600)
>>> dataSources.append(dataSource)
>>> roundRobinArchives.append(RRA(cf='AVERAGE', xff=0.5, steps=1, rows=24))
>>> myRRD = RRD(filename, ds=dataSources, rra=roundRobinArchives,
start=92080440
0)
>>> myRRD.create()
rrdtool create a test.rrd --start 920804400 --step 300
DS:speed:COUNTER:600:U:U
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:24
