You use a time that is not an *exact* multiplication of your step time. If (time % steptime) != 0, interpolation (better: normalizing) will occur. If you need/want to keep the original values: use GAUGE and make sure to update on RRDtool boundaries. If you want to update at Sun Aug 27 16:00:00 2000 UTC, you need to use a step time of 3600. Make sure to use an appropriate xff ! regards, -- __________________________________________________________________ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.
