<div><br></div><div>My goal is to create a graph that only shows the MAX accumulation for the day. I was almost able to do this by setting a step time to 1day. The problem is that the "step" doesn't go from midnight to midnight. In my case it goes from 6pm to 6pm the next day.<br clear="all">

</div>Sounds like you are collecting it as a GAUGE, but you might get more<br>
useful information collecting it as a COUNTER. Then you'd see the<br>
actual rate as a y coordinate, not the slope. No more sawtooth. It<br>
also makes the consolidation simpler.<br>
