Ohhh. I thought the step value effected the equation to determine logins/min. Thinking about it more I realize that no matter what the step it would still record the total number of logins...it's just a matter of dividing it by the right amount to obtain logons per minute. Again, thanks for the help - it makes a lot more sense now. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=13436#13436 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
