Then it strikes me as odd too that you want to graph it instead of gprinting it. If however you just want a line representing total traffic, you can do it like this: - calculate the total traffic by doing avg bps * timespan - call rrdtool graph with a print statement to print the average value of that total traffic - catch the output and use it to call rrdtool again. This time let it draw a line or hrule with the value.

Frankly, I don't think google returns a hit that I have not visited related to this... I want to *graph* the *total* MB/GB used on a Interface over a certain period of time (not fixed)... Now, the whole kb/sec * times = Value thing is all nice and fine... HOWEVER, when *graphing* that, it doesn't exactly make allot of sense when your TOTAL traffic goes up and down and up and down, does it? I mean, traffic used is traffic used and it cannot go down (except if the counters are reset)... And let's face it.. A interface runs at 500kb/sec for 1 hour, and then goes into a idle state for 4 hours... Graphing that with kb/sec * time, the graph will go high, and then go down to zero (just about)... I want a way to graph the traffic used per time period, that should look very similar to the old mrtg "uptime" graphs for example - similar type of graph. Myself, just as allot of others (from what I saw in the archives) are unable to do it, and are unable to get a answer from this mailing list on how to do it... I know it is possible however, seeing that I saw allot of other people *graphing* the totals... So, just how is this done??? If this has been answered before, please just point me to the post in the archives... After spending numerous hours searching and browsing, I'm rather sure that I could not have missed it. -- me -- 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 -- 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
