As far as the graph moving left instead of right, use 'Option[TargetName]:
growright' without the single quotes to make the graph go from right to left
into the past and have the little arrow point to the right.

The only way I know to test the traffic rates is to use an snmp utility to
get the interface octet numbers at five minute intervals and manually run
the calculations on these numbers to see if the rate you get is the same as
the rate graphed by MRTG.

You might reply with the section of your config file that has your Internet
interfaces target section and ask for inputs, I'd be happy to help if I can.

Subject: RD: [mrtg] It's backwards?


Content-Type: text/plain;

Hey there.  I installed the MRTG on a NT 4.0 Sp6 box to monitor a Cisco 2600
family router.
However, the graph still doesn't show the amount of traffic I believe that
we have.  And I am wondering how to test that?
Also, the graphs that are being written to the screen are timed backwards.
I guess the best way to explain that is to say that if I look at the weekly
graph, it's written as week 36    week 35   week 34, etc. instead of week 34
week 35   week 36.  Got me?  The little red arrows at the bottom of the
graph are pointing to the left instead of to the right.  Is there a way that
I can change this?
Might seem like an insignificant request, however, I have upper management
using this graph to tell "how well" we are doing and they are complaining
about the way that it is recording time. *sigh*
As always, any help is nice.
Thanks!
Carmen
