Hi, I'm monitoring an external device and the output is in the form of an ongoing count. MRTG works great, it calculates the delta from the last sample and then shows the values on the graph.
The problem is when the external device resets or reaches the max count. The last sample is a very large number, the new sample is a very small value. MRTG calculates a huge negative delta. Here is where the problem is, those large negative values show up as a large positive spike. Is there someway to tell MRTG to throw away any deltas in the samples that are negative? or, even better, Is there a way to tell MRTG to use 0 as the last sample if the delta is negative? Using AbsMax and MaxBytes is not an option because the negative spikes are sometimes smaller than real spikes we need to see, and if we set AbsMax or MaxBytes low enough, then our real data gets thrown out.
