Right, well, forgive me for being inaccurate.

ISTR you can run MRTG once a minute and configure the RRDs to allow for
once-a-minute collection points (with a shorter retention interval -- along
the lines of 6 hours, I believe).

Now, what I'd like, is to have even finer granularity than this.
For example, keeping 720 datapoints and updating every 10 seconds would give
me a graph of the last two hours.

Sorry -- I just subscribed and a search of the mailing list archive did not
reveal anything particularly illuminating, though perhaps I missed something.
I did just go through this last week's postings to make sure and didn't see
anything that answered this question.
