Ah, it was me that did the bad reading, sorry. > So (to the best of my understanding) it should be COUNTER or > DERIVE and as it can overflow (it jumps back to 0 if the > monitoring process > restarts) i chose COUNTER. Counter protects against counter wraps. Not against randomly resetting counters. Counter is alright, but you need to do something yourself against counter resets yourself. I think your problem is that you expect 4 to come out when you put in a difference of 4. But what comes out is 4/step. You can use a cdef to multiply by the step again before plotting.
