[mrtg] Re: graph spike problem - stumped.

This sort of sounds like spikes introduced by a counter RRD data type, 
although you mentioned that you don't have counter wrap problems, so 
this may not be the case. Nonetheless, it may be worth your time to 
experiment with changing the data type to DERIVE instead of counter to 
see if it helps at all. I've been considering a blanket change from 
COUNTER to DERIVE to avoid getting 'reboot-spikes' and discussed it on 
the list in the following post:

As always, back-up your data before doing something like this.
