This makes perfect sense. I am trying to work with the Custom RRD command you outlined, but it's not working and I fear I am missing something easy. My current graph commands read: -F -E --height=100 --width=500 --vertical-label= DEF:logon_Attempts-raw=rrdPath/logonAttempts_logonAttempts.rrd:ds0:AVERAGE CDEF:logon_Attempts=logon_Attempts-raw LINE:logon_Attempts-raw#0000ff:logon Attempts GPRINT:logon_Attempts-raw:LAST:cur\:%5.2lf%s GPRINT:logon_Attempts-raw:AVERAGE:avg\:%5.2lf%s GPRINT:logon_Attempts-raw:MAX:max\:%5.2lf%s\j When I add what you suggested (changing login to logon) it breaks the graph. Should these commands be inputed under "Graph Custom Definition" or under the Data Points "Create Cmd"? -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=13321#13321 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
