Ok, the collector frequency for snmp collection does determine the rrd step size for those rrd files. Like James said below, you will need to delete the rrd files so they can be recreated with the right step size. These files are in $ZENHOME/perf/Devices/<devicename>. HOWEVER, make sure you stop zenperfsnmp first so that it doesn't get a chance to recreate the files before it picks up the correct frequency.
1) zenperfsnmp stop (or Settings->Daemons->stop zenperfsnmp) 2) Delete the rrd files 3) zenperfsnmp start 4) Once the files get recreated, go to one of the rrd files and run 'rrdtool info <filename>'. The step size should be toward the top. At this point the default step size on the graphs should be the rrd step size. chip slickrick21 wrote: > yes snmp data > > mrchippy wrote: > > OK, that's slightly more complicated.
