I'm assuming you have the default 5-min sample interval. The daily graph is a 5-min granularity, the weekly is a 30-min granularity, the monthly is a 2-h granularity, and the yearly is a 1-day granularity. The daily graph will show you a line corresponding to the 5-min average (because you are polling every 5 minutes). The 'Peak' line on the Weekly graph will show the highest 5-min average for the 30-min period. The normal line will show the Mean Average over the 30-min period (IE, the average of the six 5-min averages) The 'Peak' line on the Monthly graph will show the highest 5-min average for the 2-h period. The normal line will show the Mean Average over the 2-h period. And so on. From this you can deduce why a 95th percentile calculation is doomed to fail at higher granularities, and will always be inaccurate to some degree (if you've studied statistics) Steve _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
