[mrtg] Re: YMax

[Albert Wiersch]

Thanks.. but I can't get it to work. I am using:
MaxBytes[www.htmlvalidator.com]: 20000
AbsMax[www.htmlvalidator.com]: 600000
Unscaled[www.htmlvalidator.com]: d

I want the top of the graph (max Y value) to show 20000 bytes at all times,
but the actual values can go higher than 20000 and I don't want to throw
these values out so I've included a AbsMax. Anything over 20000 bytes should
be shown at the max on my daily graph, but the proper value (even though it
may not be completely graphed on the daily graph) will be taken into
consideration on the weekly and other graphs.

The above just draws a horizontal dotted red line at 20000 bytes and the Y
scale is still not fixed.

Wouldn't it be logical for MRTG to just have a YMax feature for each of the
graphs so you can fix the maximum Y value? Too bad it doesn't do this.

Thanks,
Albert Wiersch
