[snip long explanation] I have to add: What I think I know is because this is how RRDtool should work. I think it also applies to rateup, thus MRTG. If not exactly like this, then at least it will work similar. There may be other factors, such as calling MRTG more than once in one polling interval. Using the same technique (copying numbers every time MRTG has run, for a couple of time, then doing the math by hand) will show what happens in such a case. _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
