<div><font color="#0000FF">The reason I want to do this is because I have just changed the max ds value in my interface traffic data templates. This is because I have been seeing some massive spikes in my graphs. I have used spikekill to remove these spikes.
Now I need to update rrd files so I don't get these Petabyte spikes again.</font></div>
