Neil, If you want to plot the number of faxes sent+received per interval, try letting mrtg do its thing but then multiplying the result by 300 (the number of seconds in the polling interval). Maybe something like:

Basically I have a script which gives the total faxes in and total faxes out as a number which is always incrementing, so if you check the number at 10pm it will say 2000 faxes, then the number at 5 mins past 10 it will say 2010 faxes have been sent in total. What I would like is to take the total number and plot the difference at 5 minute intervals, therefore showing at every 5 minutes how many faxes were sent. Basically something like this :- To start, at 10:00 there have been a total of 2000 faxes sent. At 10:05 there have been a total of 2010 faxes sent, plot 10 (2010 - 2000) on the graph at 5 mins. At 10:10 there have been a total of 2015 faxes sent, plot 5(2015 - 2010) on the graph at 10 mins. I know the normal procedure is to find the difference between values but then the number is divided by the time elapsed, I don't want this division to happen. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
