Hello Auro,

Answering your questions below:

1. Monitorix collects data on every minute (hard coded) and uses RRDtool 
databases to save such data. All these .rrd files are preconfigured to 
hold daily, weekly, monthly and yearly average values, and hence are 
files with a fixed size. There isn't any configuration option in 
monitorix.conf that permits you to change the update frequency.

2. As you know in the main page you can only choose between daily, 
weekly, monthly and yearly, but there is trick. Once you pressed the OK 
button you can change the time frame in the URL to ... let's say 4 
hours, just like this:

Original URL:
http://localhost/monitorix-cgi/monitorix.cgi?mode=localhost&graph=_system1&when=1day&color=black

URL with time frame modified:
http://localhost/monitorix-cgi/monitorix.cgi?mode=localhost&graph=_system1&when=4hour&color=black

Let me say you that when you modify time frames you might end up seeing 
'squared' graphs. This is because the time you chose doesn't match with 
any of the four time frames (daily, weekly, monthly and yearly) in which 
the .rrd file was initially created.

3. I guess you are talking about the System Services graph. This graph 
shows currently a fixed number of predefined services. Probably in the 
future this graph can be enhanced in order to support more services and 
even including the ability to choose which one should appear in the graph.

I'm currently working on the 3.0 version which will include some new 
features. I plan to include a Processes graph which would show 
statistics of a list of predefined processes. So far though, it's only 
in my TODO list just waiting to see the light somewhere in 3.x.

I hope this helped you.
Best regards.
