[mrtg] Re: [mort] Size/scale of graphs

[Stieers, Ken]

Steven, 

Are you trying to get the max that the graphs display to stay constant (say
at 15k) and have everything over that maximum not displayed?

If so, I think what you need to do is this:  
1. Set ABSMAX to the real maximum that the interface will transfer
2. Set MaxBytes to the maximum you want the graph to display
3. Set the graphs to be Unscaled.  (Unscaled[target]: dwmy)

HTH, 

Ken
