[mrtg] Re: 14all.cgi -- graphs show larger than maximal number

[Aaron Conaway]

Thanks for the reply, Greg.

I'm looking at the daily graph for connections.  The plotted line
clearly shows around 30 connections as the max, while the legend reports
26 as the max.  Also, the current is plotted as 26, while the legend
reports it as 23.  What would cause that?

The 3k png is available upon request.

}I'm monitoring the number of connections to our VPN concentrator, using
}RRDTool and 14all.cgi to produce the graphs.  I just started doing this

Are you comparing the legend numbers in one graph against the 
plotted data in another? If so, this is normal - MRTG averages 
the peaks out in the longer term graphs. If you want to keep 
the peaks in the long term graphs, use the WithPeak directive 
and specify which graphs like:

WithPeak[conns]: wmy

or you can use 'WithPeak[_]: wmy" and that will apply the the directive
to every target thereafter in the config.
