I appreciate the quick response, but I don't believe that to be inline with what I've read. As I understand it, the MRTG 5 minute limitation only applies if one is using MRTG to store the data. I've heard that once you apply the logformat command, you can set it as low as one minute.
Can anyone corroborate this and if so, what would be the cause of the inconsistency?

Hartman Subject: Re: [rrd-users] RRDtool lying about data values Jon, If you're still using MRTG to poll the values, the minimum you can do is still 5 minutes. The reason is that MRTG still created the RRAs, which are still 5 minute samples. Use something like cacti or a roll your own poller and build an MRTG-like utility to stuffthe data into the RRD database.

I also dropped my polling interval from 5 minutes to 1. When I look at the graphs, the values listed under them don't mesh with the data points on the curve. As one can see in the example: http://home1.gte.net/jodih/graph.png. The maximum out is stated to be 113.028Mbps, while the graph clearly shows it to be more about 150Mbps. Is there some sort of math error here?
