[mrtg] Re: maxbytes & spikes

[Perry, Duane]

I do not think there is any solution for that, if a big spike comes along it
will change the scale until that spike leaves the daily graph after 24
hours.  If you leave out the AbsMax it will not graph the spike but I am not
sure what it will do with the max and average info.  It is supposed to
ignore values above Maxbytes if there is no AbsMax so I would guess that
info would be lost as well.

I put in the AbsMax in and set it to 2500000.  I have Maxbytes set to 60000.
What I would like is for the graph to only show up to around 60000, since
that is where most of our traffic is, but occasionally we get a spike higher
than that which screws up everything.  Like last night we had one hit
2000.0K, so now the y axis is set to that and you can't read the lower
stuff.  How do I fix this?
I would like to have it always set to around 60000, but no exclude any
spikes when posting the max and average below the graph.

Do you have an AbsMax set?  That would prevent it from scaling
down to the MaxBytes...

Well, at first I did just set Maxbytes to a lower value and that did not
work, so some posted to try Unscaled, so I tried adding that and no luck.
