NAME

       whisper-create - create a whisper database

SYNOPSIS

       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.
