Hi Anthony, This ML has the main purpose to help to anyone that has some issue with Monitorix, so please, feel free to ask whatever you need.
Regarding your question, this is a well know problem that will be fixed in the next Monitorix version. In fact, it's not actually a Monitorix related problem it's more a problem of how are defined the type of the DS (Data Sources) in the RRDtool database for the 'net' graph. Until now they were defined as COUNTER and since the next Monitorix version they will be defined as GAUGE. You can get more information here <http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdcreate.en.html> about the definition of both DS types, but basically COUNTER Data Sources are affected if the value in question overflows or starts again from zero, something that it could happen if the machine has been rebooted very quickly (perhaps because it's a virtualized system and it takes a very short time to reboot and start Monitorix again). Finally and answering your second question, you can get the script called <http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/contrib/removespikes-20080226-mkn.tar.gz> to remove that huge spike that scales your graph so high that prevents you to see your current daily detail. Also, such spike will affect weekly, monthly and yearly views, so indeed, it's very recommended to remove it as soon as possible. The script is pretty simple, so you shouldn't have any problem with it.
