You can accomplish this by changing the xff value of the RRD files so that a higher percentage of samples must be 'known' in order for data to be consolidated. This is the second value in the lines defining the RRA records in the "*** Database ***" configuration section (for example, "AVERAGE 0.5 1 1008" has an xff of 0.5, meaning that you need to know 50% of the values in order to consolidate to a known value).
See the Smokeping (or better yet, rrdtool) docs for a full explanation of the math involved. You'll have to figure out what xff value best suits your particular setup, however. - Peter --- [email protected] wrote: From: Miloš Šifalda <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [smokeping-users] confusing average packet loss Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 12:49:56 +0100 Hi all, I need to monitor real packet loss of company workstations. For example these workstations are 60% time down. I get in 400days graph average packet loss 61%. But I need average packet loss from the time when the workstation is up. I can calculate with 100% packet loss = host down. I need to set UNKNOWN value into rrd instead of 100% loss (maybe). How can I do this, or is another way to get real values of average packet lost?
