Sorry, I thought I'd answered this before, but it appears that I only
did in my mind...
RRDtool differentiates between undefined (no data given) and zero
(actual measured value). Over time, it requires a certain proportion of
known values to actually create an average value. When it outputs NaN,
it hasn't gotten enough data over that interval to calculate a value.
I hope this answers your question, if not, I'll try to be more timely
with my next response...
