NAME

       whisper-create - create a whisper database

SYNOPSYS

       whisper-create path secondsPerPoint:pointsToStore [secondsPerPoint:pointsToStore]*

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  creates  a  new  whisper  fixed-size  database. For each
       database you specify one or more pairs of numbers describing  how  data
       points  should be archived in this database. The first part of the pair
       is the precision, the second part of the pair is how many  data  points
       should  be  stored.  You  cannot  configure  two archives with the same
       precision inside a single  database.  Higher  precision  archives  must
       evenly divide all lower precision archives’ precision.

       The options are described below.

OPTIONS

       --overwrite
              Overwrite an existing database.

       --xFilesFactor
              The  fraction of data points in a propagation interval that must
              have known values for a propagation to occur.

       -h, --help
              Show the embedded help.
