I appreaciate that. So basically this is because of the design of rrdtool. I don't have the posiblity to graph the actual values, it is always somehow inerpolated even if i store values every minute with an 60 second step?</div><div><br></div><div>I mean if it is designed lie that than we now at least know why the values are plotted like that.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true">

Hopefully some of you can explain that behavior to me. The main issue is that it seems like the value which is saved into the RRD (which i see as last_ds) is not plotted, instead a consolidated (seems to me like that) value is plotted which is nearly like original one but not exactly. I am aware of the consolidation functions, we are saving AVERAGE and LAST values in to the RRD and i am printing the LAST value as a text below the graph. </div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><br></div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I suggest that the graphing command is wrong and therefore actual last measured value isn't plotted?
