[mrtg] Re: Two Questions (scale and archives)

[Jim Hunt]

"Unscaled" would make all graphs use the same scale (providing the
interfaces ae the same).

I could see keeping he daily graph but the weekly, monthly, & yearly don't
make sense.  Here might be a cool idea...

Write a script to save the log files every day and then write a browser
based interface that could create graphs as requested.  Log files are
smaller than graphs.

Hello,
	I was wondering if it is possible to set the max height on your
graphs and 
have all the graphs use that same scale.  That is, rather, is there a
way to 
stop MRTG from scaling your graph's height to the largest value it's
seen in 
a certain time period?  I ask because I have a client who would like to 
quickly be able to scan all the graphs for his switch and know that the
most 
green/blue is the interface he should be concerned with.
	Secondly, this same client wants to save the
daily/weekly/monthly/yearly 
graphs for each day in a sort of archive.  I know that he should
probably 
just look at RRDTool, but he doesn't want to switch at this time.  So, I
was 
just going to write a perl script to copy these directories to an
/archive 
directory and append the date or something.  Has anyone else done this?
Is 
it a poor idea?  Is there a ratio for the amount of disk space needed
per 
interface?

Thanks much,

Shane
