Sorry, that sounded kind of harsh, wasn't meant to be. I've been in lists that it's well know if a newb asks a stupid question, no one answers. So, that being said, I'm to new to RRD to know if it was a stupid question.

Was this a newb question and no one wants to answer, no one has ever experienced, or no one has ever validated the data so if it's happen, no one noticed? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gavin Landon Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 11:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [rrd-users] Absolute values.. I'm having a few problem which has interrupted my train of thought to the point I'm starting to doubt myself. (Problem 1) I've been writing a monitoring system for software we have written that report back to us on a minute by minute bases. I'm only in the development stages so the data is small and in one case it always returns 1. I find the chart that's looking at this stat is in flux as if the values are more than 1. I've deleted the RRD file then recreated it with data I have in SQL, logging everything that goes into RRD and I never put in anything greater than 1. Yet my chart still has spikes at the same place up to 20. (Problem 2) The answer to this one may fix problem 1.. I can't seem to find the balance in the configuration so that the numbers on the side of the left side of the chart match up with the data that is actually in the RRD file. Since I'm also storing the data in SQL at the same time it's being placed into RRD, I know I have an exact match up. However, when I tell SQL to give me the MIN and MAX of a specific time frame, then tell RRD to do the same, I get two different values. I do have 5 archives. Min = .Steps = 1 24 hours = .Steps = 60 'Minutes per Hour Week = .Steps = 1440 'Minutes per Day Month = .Steps = 10080 'Minutes per Week Year = .Steps = 43829 '525948.766/12 'Minutes Per Month I'm using Gauge when creating it since Absolute, Counter, and Derive all seem to skew the charts as well. On my archives I'm using MAX function because I found that Average was throwing me way off.. Since this is a monitoring interface, I need it to be exact. Maybe it's me and I just don't have it configured correctly.. If so, can someone tell me the configuration needed to show what is exactly in RRD, because showing my clients 189 for SQL, but looking at a chart that doesn't go over 40 is only going to prompt questions I can't answer.
