You are correct - the rrds files do have type GAUGE. Some of these metrics are actually coming from jmxtrans - which has no capability to set the "type of value".
I cannot figure out the command within rrdtool to change from a gauge to a counter - how do I do this? -----Original Message----- From: Jesse Becker [mailto:haw...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2014 11:47 AM To: Silver, Jonathan Cc: Ganglia Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] Is there a way to Display deltas for metrics Sounds like you have the RRD files set as a "GAUGE" when they should be a "COUNTER". You could try using rrdtool to fix this on the fly. If you are using gmetric to send metrics, have a look at the "--slope" option. This is used when creating RRD files for the first time to set the metric (i.e. GAUGE, COUNTER, etc).
