<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I can¢t explain much as I don¢t
know enough about your system. MRTG will graph the figures it is given, are
you sure you are giving it constant values? You also don¢t say how you
are obtaining the values for ¡tcp active connections¢, so this may
be relevant. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">The graph you show says that for certain
times MRTG has been given values less than 8 by the method you are using to
poll. Possibly this is returning low or zero values, or failing to poll
correctly? You are probably running MRTG with ¡unknaszero¢ set in
native mode? That would cause a sag in the line if the polling failed.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Remember that perfmon polls at a far
higher frequency (20sec) to MRTG (5min) so you¢ll see different usage
patterns.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">My guess is that your polling is failing
and so logging zeros for occasional samples. Check that there are no failed
poll logs coming from your MRTG process.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">but my other
interfaces where the traffic on serial interface is moving out the blue graph
is showing a sawtooth graph....its only with the "in" traffic i am
getting this sort of result....<br>
<br>
another thing i noticed is when i was monitoring activetcp connections..I
used perfmon and monitored tcp connections and it showed a constant line of 8
active connections.....mrtg also did show 8 but of the similar behaviour
which i explained earlier...To just show you that i am attaching the png
image........can you please explain a bit further on this behaviour<br>
