Please add a RRD file size calculator to the "Performance data and graphing" Checkmk documentation https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/graphing.html#data_rrds.
This would allow everyone to see how different settings affect the size of the RRD file. Based on these numbers, a simple prediction could then be made for the total storage space required.

Thank you for this suggestion. We have reviewed this idea and decided not to add a calculator to the documentation. This is because a file's size depends on many dynamic variables which makes a simple calculator highly inaccurate and in worst case misleading.
