Hi Ryan,

As you probably already know, Monitorix uses the RRDtool to store the 
information in files. Those type of files are fixed size database, and 
they were sized according the time frames implemented in Monitorix 
(daily, weekly, monthly and yearly).

That means you aren't able to configure Monitorix to see the graphs in 
an hourly basis or any other time frame, BUT you can use a little trick 
to force Monitorix to show a different time frame in a given moment.

Let me explain. Imagine you choose to see the 'System load average and 
usage' daily graph and click in the 'Ok' button. The page with the 
graphs will appear immediately and you'll see in the URL bar of your 
browser something like this:

http://localhost/monitorix-cgi/monitorix.cgi?mode=localhost&graph=_system1&when=day&color=black

As you may see Monitorix is using the parameter 'when' with the value 
'day' which will show the values of the last day of each graph.

Now modify by hand this line changing 'day' by 'hour', just like this:

http://localhost/monitorix-cgi/monitorix.cgi?mode=localhost&graph=_system1&when=hour&color=black

Now you'll see the graphs showing the values in the last hour.

You probably can take advantage of this trick using other time frames 
but as you'll see, the resolution of the data shown is not so accurate 
as  you get when using the 'standard' time frames of Monitorix (daily, 
weekly, monthly and yearly).

I hope that helped you.
Best regards.
