This is because of the 'unison_tolerance' setting in your smokeping configuration file.

http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_config.en.html

*unison_tolerance*

   if a graph is more than this factor of the median 'max' it drops out
   of the unison scaling algorithm. A factor of two would mean that any
   graph with a max either less than half or more than twice the median
   'max' will be dropped from unison scaling

Hi folks,

I noticed a message in the list archives (quoted below) from Wolfgang Hennerbichler who seems to be having the same problem I am.

I put a partial screen shot at  http://www.jlab.org/~bhess/scale.png

It seems that for some detail graphs, the smoke portion of the graph has different peaks than in other views for the same time and data(!). In these graphs, some of the smoke peaks around shortly after 6:00am have an 80ms peak in the "Last 3 hours" graph, but a much higher peak in the "Last 30 hours" graph.

This is with rrdtool 1.2.27, SmokePing 2.3.5.

I can't explain this, can anyone help?

Dear Smokeping users, dear Tobi,

I wonder if the graphs I'm getting with smokeping can be correct...
this is the graphs: http://tiny.wogri.at/JU

You see that the average ping is aroound 400 and 500 useconds. In the last 30 hours view, you also see that the smoke nearly touches the 1ms border. How can it be, that the average smoke of a graph that never is getting higher than 1ms can be somewhere around 3 and 7 milliseconds in the last 10 days view? I'm sorry if I bother you with standard-question, but to me it just doesn't look correct.

thanks for reading and your time, smokeping-people!
Wolfgang
