Check your data source type....keep in mind that counter is something that continuously increments and if DS is definied as counter than RRDtool will calculate the differences. Also, RRDtool needs to divide the difference by the amount of time lapsed. That's the reason you are getting such a low values.....try to change your DS type and it will be ok.

I want to recorder a counter (integer) value every five minutes. However, now matter what I try, the value recorded is NOT the value I'm getting back (fetch,graph, dump,xport). The value is some teeny fraction (x.yE-03 to x.yE-05). At first, I thought this was because my RRA was AVERAGE, but I get the same results with LAST and MAX. The DS is COUNTER. rrdtool create foo.rrd DS:incoming:COUNTER:600:0:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:300 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:120 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:400 DS:reject:COUNTER:600:0:U RRA:MAX:0.5:1:300 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:120 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:400 rrdtool update foo.rrd -t incoming:reject N:56:2 Obviously, I'm doing *something* wrong. For the record, I'm plotting occurrences of various messages in a log file. It gets reset once a day, but I haven't even gotten that far. Thanks.
