"Storing precise values in rrd"

--------------------------------------------------------------
I have some stuff to graph which is beter reported as precise, whole value integers. RRD wants to store it as approximate values. I understand this is the nature of RRD, but I also have a lot of disk space and am not worried about having 1 gig rrd files if necessary. I understand that there must be a way to tell RRD to store the exact value and allocate enough space that it should only start to deteriorate or throw away data after the round robin archive fills up (?)
Is this done with the consolidation function? Should it be LAST? Say I'm storing data on a 10 minute basis, and I want the graph to go back 1 year with precise values stored, how do you tell the graph to do this?
In other words:
Loading Image... Loading Image...
*A measure of events per browser*
How to make these report precise whole integers (as the data comes in)?
(There isn't such a thing as 1.66Â or 757.34m events -- but 2 or 1 perhaps)
