Hello again. First of all thanks for answering my newbie question. I read all the mrtg faqs, and i understood how things works. Ok..like the mrtg faqs explain the values actually stored, and printed are not the "real" values i send to rrdtool/mrtg, are in fact averages.
>From the Resampling section, of the "How does the MRTG Works" FAQ, i took the conclusion that maybe i can use RRD to actually stores and show/graph the values i actually sent, and not averages. Lemme try to explain what i think i have to do, in order to achieve this: -Use DST=GAUGE -DO RRDTOOL Updates with the timestamp specified exactly equal to the timestamp of the start of each timeslot. DO just one Update for each timeslot. THis way i would force RRDTOOL to stores exactly the value i sent, and not a average I am not sure if i am thinking right, but i would appreciate suggestions/comments. Anyway, i am planning to use 4 different kinds of graphs, day/week/month/year. I am not worried in rrdtool calculating averages for week/month/year, but for daily graphs, i want exactly what i sent, in order to observe all the peaks occured. I can guess the peaks would be absorved by the average being calculated with previous values. Sorry for the long message, hope anyone can comment my thoughts and maybe point me to a correct direction. Thanks alot.
