I always wonder why people want a graph with all of the useful information
removed.
When I want a visual representation of how much bandwidth is consumed, I
just use
unscaled[target-name]: dwmy

Then I get a graph that always shows visually the percentage used, it shows
numerically the percentages at max and current, and it also shows the
absolute values so that I can, without remembering the topology of all of my
clients, know whether I need to recommend a second T1, Fast Ethernet, GigE,
or OC-12 connection.

just my $.02
