You could try Options[_]: integer

I'm not sure if it rounds or truncates.

If it truncates, and you're using rrd instead of rateup, you could always add 0.5 to the target value which might give you a better result.

I know what  Daniel means. I collect the number of channels in use on an
ISDN link. As such it can only be a whole number. If the collection interval
varies, as it will, MRTG interpolates and sometimes gives me 4.8 instead of
5. It would be great to optionally overide this behaviour.
