This is possible if you use the routers2 frontend (which of course means you need to be using MRTG with RRDTool). However, you have the problem that an RRDTool graph only has ONE scale, which means you need to graph both values on the same scale. >The other half of my problem is how the values get >returned, I need to do a little math with them to get >them looking right.. For your temperature, there is a special function in routers2 (since v2.16) for converting DegC to DegF (since I heard Americans still use DegF). If you collect the data as C and store it like this, then have Routers.cgi*Options[temp]: c2fi It will convert the value from C to F (by F=c*9/5+32) before plotting it. A similar c2fo option exists for converting the 'out' value, although you probably are using option 'noo' to have only one line on the graph. For the voltage, you could use Factor[volt]: -0.01 Which will convert -5201 to 52.01 before displaying. The main difference between using Factor and having the calculation on the Target line is that the data is stored in the RRD AFTER the Target calculation, but the Factor (and the c2fi option) are only used at Display time. In both cases, you should have the Options[]:gauge set as the values are absolute. However, you may need to adjust the RRD file for voltage, since by default the min/max range will be 0->MaxBytes[] and (if you use Factor) you will want to store negative values. To get both on the same graph, using routers2, you would need something like Router.cgi*Graph[temp]: combined nototal noaverage Router.cgi*Graph[volts]: combined Routers.cgi*YLabel[combined]: degF or Volts but you'd probably also need to tune some other settings and you may find that the single scale makes it hard to read.
