This is caused by data normalisation (if the data does not comine in exactly on the 5-min polling boundary, it is averaged to meet this resulting in decimals if your value is small) and caused because MRTG was designed for network traffic originally.
To get around it, you have a couple of options. 1) Use Options[]:integer to make the graph display in integers. 2) Set your polling to occur exactly on the 5min boundary, possibly by manually updating the RRD with an explicitly pre-normalised time value. It would be useful if Tobi in the future adds a new variable type (eg 'exactgauge') the bypasses the normalisation code...

The item being polled is a hard number, no decimal. I do not understand why it adding a decimal, or from where it is getting that number. Has anyone run into this before?
