[mrtg] Re: Computing 3 Objects

[gary.post at amd.com]

just a quick thought without thinking it through very thoroughly - why not
plot:

1 - System
2 - System + User
Max = 100

this way under the first line (the solid part) would be the first value -
adding the second value to the first would then place User on top of System
so that the User time would be between the solid and the line graph then the
remaining portion at the top would be the Idle time

yes i know you would not know what percentage any one of them would be at
any instant in time, but is this really any worse than plotting three lines
and then trying to figure it out from that plot??  the real question here is
what information are you wanting to see - what are the trends - or - what
was the exact idle time at 4:56 the yesterday morning

and then there is the weekly, monthly and yearly graphs - they should be
really busy ;->
