Hi there. A question on the way MRTG calculates averages, and what happens when per minute option is added.
Below are two examples of how I'm graphing Discards and Errors. I added the perminute option to graph the errors that come through. Before adding the per minute option it wouldn't graph anything, now it does and "appears" correct, but I'm concerned as to why and what exactly the perminute option does (I'm worried that I'm interpreting the graph incorrectly.) The X scale did not change, and appears exactly the same. I know its supposed to multiply the values by 60 but what else does it do ? It seems that by multiplying the values by 60 something else has to change ass well. Also, after doing so, I added the per minute option to the discards graph, (which was graphing values, but very small), and after doing so some very big values started to come through, I did a manual snmpget to see the change over approximately 6 hours, and I received a value of 22000, which appears very big, but accepted as correct. So it seems in order (the graph anyway), but i need some way of verifying that all is well. Bit confused and late nights with studies isn't helping. Hope you guys have some info for me.
