[mrtg] Re: Network peak monitoring..

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

The highest speed in *what* interval?  Per second, 5 seconds, 
30 seconds, 1 minute - what?

The highest peak in a 5 minute window is going to be that 
5 minute window.  Once you get into the consolidation, the 
peak for a 30 minute sampling will be the greatest value in 
the 6 samples within that 30 minute window.  In the 2 hour 
consolidation, the peak will be the greatest of the 4 30 minute 
winners, and in the 1 day consolidation, the peak will be in the 
12 "winners" for each 2 hour window.

If you increase the polling to per minute, nevermind native MRTG 
can't do it, you'll be able to catch more peaks, but you'll also 
increase the probably for normalization as well as the potential 
for errors and missed polls.

ehh, something like that, but the WithPeak[_] option
is only for [WMY], i like to no what the highest speed
of my nic was every interval (5 min)
