I read the manual page and see your point. Would it be fair to say that *any* COUNTER that is zeroed on reboot would be better off being a DERIVE? I'm not sure that detecting the difference between an overflow and a zeroing is worth attempting, and that seems to mean this is the only 'correct' solution. My graphs are looking great now, by the way. ;-) Cheers Michael -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
