Would there not be some script or batch file or something simple to pull the data from the standard MRTG logs (which hold ALL the data from the original time of start) and replay it through the mrtg script...hrmmm...It sounds like using router2.cgi to do this would require me to manually click "Archive" on any graph I MAY want to see in the future, but in most cases I don't know what graphs I want to archive until I need to see one day in more detail in which case being able to, on the fly, enter in a date and have MRTG find that spot in the log file and then run the graph creation script...I may be over-simplifying this...let me know what you think. Thanks.

The graphs are generated on the fly from the .rrd files, and the data points that make up the graphs that you see today are not going to be around a week from now. However, the routers2.cgi front-end has been developed with some 'graph archiving' code that enables you to archive specific graphs. So, if you look into this further, it may allow you to archive your daily graphs and be able to refer back to them at a future date. While I use routers2.cgi (http://www.steveshipway.org/), I have not tested nor used the archive feature, so I can't offer you much more detail. HTH Garry W.
