[mrtg] FW: SV: Re: Changing the scale on the graphs

[Sawyer, David]

Sorry for the repeat post (Paul & Stoltze), my outgoing email address has
just changed and it got thrown back from 'listar'.

Tobi - any chance of adding a change of email option in the mailing list
interface so I don't have to re-subscribe to the list?

******************************

Why not have two configs for the device and use MAxBytes1 & MaxBytes2

Config one to monitor only Inbound traffic for both the OIDs with MaxBytes1
set just above regular traffic and MaxBytes2 set to the full capacity.

Config two do the same but only monitor outbound traffic.

i.e.

Target[host_in]: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.3&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.3:public at host
MaxBytes1[host_in]: 250000
MaxBytes2[host_in]: 1250000
Unscaled[host_in]: Y
.
.
.
Target[host_out]: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.3&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.3:public at host
MaxBytes1[host_out]: 250000
MaxBytes2[host_out]: 1250000
Unscaled[host_out]: Y
.
.
.

Yeah, that's the problem.  He wants to see the spike traffic, but 
he doesn't want it to mess up the "regular" daily traffic.

Try putting the MaxBytes to something right above the normal 
daily traffic, and put in an AbsMax value of whatever your current 
MaxBytes value is.  Do the unscaled thing.  Then things should be 
ok, sort of.  I say sort of because I don't think this will really help. 

You maybe want a display "range" from say 0 to 20% of your link?
But only for daily?  Sounds like a request for the developers.  I'd 
like that kind of feature too...

Hmm, isn t that exactly what Charles doesn t want? The problem is, that
he can't see the normal traffic, because off the spikes. If he should
use the Unscaled options, I would say that he should use it, in
conjunction with Maxbytes, setting MaxBytes to a low value. That way, he
will see his normal traffic during day, but not the big spikes in the
night. Or perhaps, Charles should just monitor during working hours?
