Well, I'm NOT yet doing this collection. But I _thought_ that MRTG
calculated the averages etc for 5 minute intervals and not shorter periods.
so: when the data is represented on the graph, wont it be seem like 5 times
less data since it will be polling the "if" statistics more often making
them look smaller? (because it takes the increase difference between the
last value captured and the current value and computes that based on the
if-speed to get load)

Or am I misunderstanding how the calculations work with MRTG?

Thanks
will
