[mrtg] Re: rrdfetch ?

[Daniel R . Kilbourne]

I looked into this a little more. 

>From reading the rrdfetch manpage, I would think that specifying MAX vs. AVERAGE for the CF would give you different output, but:



mrtg:root:[10:16am]:~> /usr/local/bin/rrdtool fetch /mrtg/httpd/html/MRTG/michigan/mail/smtp/mx2.mx.voyager.net.bytes.rrd AVERAGE > AVERAGE
mrtg:root:[10:17am]:~> /usr/local/bin/rrdtool fetch /mrtg/httpd/html/MRTG/michigan/mail/smtp/mx2.mx.voyager.net.bytes.rrd MAX > MAX
mrtg:root:[10:17am]:~> diff MAX AVERAGE 
mrtg:root:[10:17am]:~> 




hmmm....what am I missing?  (replies calling me an idiot are welcome as long as they help  :)
