Once you know what you want out of an .rdd or .mdd file you can use one of the two measures below to add in variable or meter requests.
Add Output Variable
Add Meter
I should also point out that reporting measures can now add their own variable requests instead of having to add that request in a separate measure. It works by running a specific part of the measure prior to the EnergyPlus run to inject the variable request, then plotting or graphing that resulting data after the simulation. That process is described in the OpenStudio Measure WritingGuide.. I've linked specifically to the portion on reporting measures at the "energyPlusOutputRequests" method description.
