[mrtg] Re: There is any way of trimming peaks?

[Charles P. Killmer]

I have run into the same problem and have basically been waiting for MRTG to implement a logarithmic scale for the graphs.  That way I could have the backup peaks in the same graph as the daily traffic.

Well, you can set up multiple graphs for the same interface - different
max bytes values, and/or calculations involving the backup server interface.
That way, you could have artifically skewed targets, and a genuine target.


Another workround would be to put a seperate NIC in the email server and 
have the backup server reference the box by that interface only where 
users would access the box over the other interface.
