Peter, I might be wrong, but when seeing the irregularities in the graph I would say the polling of the data is not regular at the time of the little tremours in the graph. Normally MRTG deals with delayed polls by calculating the time between the last and the previous poll. With aggregated targets however there is no exact polling time that is valid for all three targets. In stead the stored polling time is the time when the last target reported it's data. Do you start mrtg with a log file? (To do so add --logging=<file name>) If so, are there any messages from missed polls or retries in the log file? Some things that can cause the polling to be irregular: Congestion in the network between your MRTG box and the target, or an heavily loaded MRTG box, ...
To avoid problems in graphs with aggregated bandwith you have to switch to RRDtool for your backend, store the bandwith of the individual targets, and create the aggregated graph with a frontend like routers2.cgi. In this way all calculattions for counter rollovers, offset polling time etc. is done before the data is summarized.

This is not normal, because when i'm checking each interface separately (img1.png, img2.png, img3.png), it seems that everything works ok. I have also crosschecked with the other end (my customer) and he doesn't see any problem on his graphs... Bellow you can find my cfg file which produced the img0.png and img0-w.png WorkDir: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/mrtg/cust/otenet Options[_]: growright, bits, transparent, noborder, nobanner, nolegend ThreshDir: /var/log/mrtg-thresh ### Interface 42 ### Target[ath-CiscoRouter-02_XXX_all3]: \GigabitEthernet4/0/0:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:::::2 + \GigabitEthernet0/0/0:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:::::2 + \GigabitEthernet1/0/0:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:::::2 SetEnv[ath-CiscoRouter-02_XXX_all3]: MRTG_INT_IP="62.XX.XX.XXX" MRTG_INT_DESCR="XXX ALL" MaxBytes[ath-CiscoRouter-02_XXX_all3]: 3737500000 ThreshMaxO[ath-CiscoRouter-02_XXX_all3]: 1437500000 ThreshProgO[ath-CiscoRouter-02_XXX_all3]: /var/log/mrtg-thresh/XXX.sh Title[ath-CiscoRouter-02_XXX_all3]: XXX ALL PageTop[ath-CiscoRouter-02_XXX_all3]: <H1>XXX ALL</H1> <TABLE> <TR><TD>Customer ID</TD> <TD>01-XXX-XXXX</TD></TR> <TR><TD>Service ID</TD> <TD>XXXX</TD></TR> <TR><TD>Description:</TD><TD>XXX_all *** 3x10GB *** </TD></TR> <TR><TD>Speed:</TD> <TD>30 Gb</TD></TR> </TABLE> ---- Today, i removed the Threshold feature (i have placed it at 11.5GB/sec) and i will monitor it, but i don't think that the problem begins from the Trheshold checking...
