This is probably another new user question that is obvious when I
know the answer...<br>
<br>
I have a DB with nine data sources defined, the period of the DB is
30 seconds, and each 30 seconds I am feeding all nine values in.<br>
The values are mostly zeros, with occasional spikes upwards from
there.<br>
<br>
As I read the beginner's guide, a data source defined as GAUGE
stores the actual value(s) presented.<br>
There is even a little table explaining this:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<pre><tt> Values = 300, 600, 900, 1200
Step = 300 seconds
COUNTER DS = 1, 1, 1, 1
DERIVE DS = 1, 1, 1, 1
ABSOLUTE DS = 1, 2, 3, 4
GAUGE DS = 300, 600, 900, 1200</tt>
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre>So I am expecting to see the values that I stored, but I don't.
This is what I see:

So what do I have to do to store the ACTUAL values that I send?<br>
