I am sampling a counter inside a software process (operations count) and plotting the result over time as a graph. I am using type COUNTER - since this is what it is.
All works well until for some reason the process has to be restarted. At that point rrdtool assumes that the counter overflowed, and shows a huge number of operations. In itself, that isn't something that I am too worried about, its an artifact of the restart and we just live with it. The big problem is that the Y scale of the graph now zooms out to several hundred million, so the normal operation values, in the hundreds to thousands is lost at the bottom of the graph - at least until the "spike" drops off the end of the window. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
