Sure. The docs on this can be found here (http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html#IY_Grid). Here's an except: > This sets the 10**exponent scaling of the y-axis values.

For example, use 3 to display the y-axis values in k (Kilo, 10e3, > thousands), use -6 to display the y-axis values in u (Micro, 10e-6, > millionths). Use a value of 0 to prevent any scaling of the y-axis values. You're essentially setting the number of digits to exclude from display. If you wanted 1s units you'd use a value of 0, 1/1000s you'd use -3, etc. SI unit prefixes are explained here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix). That's pretty sad that an "expert" claimed that it is not possible when it's right there in the documentation! :D -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19961#19961 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
