[mrtg] Re: Mrtg for Allot

[lokesh.khanna at accelonafrica.com]

When I started Polling, I didn't use rrd tool.
When MRTG started creating graphs, I changed the config to rrd and set
interval to 1 min.
What do you suggest, what should I do now ?
On my graph It says it is 1 min Avg graph.

Thanks - Lokesh

Ah yes, I missed that.  Did you modify the interval after the 
initial configuration of the RRDs?

rval

Specifically:
"Note though, setting the Interval for an rrdtool/mrtg setup will 
influence the initial creation of the database. If you change the 
interval later, all existing databases will remain at the resolution 
they were initially created with"

But I think MRTG with rrd can give 1 min avg. Otherwise mrtg will not
even take interval =1 parameter.

Because if you use MRTG to collect the data, the lowest interval 
you are able to use is 5 minutes.  If you want to collect with greater

than 5 minute frequency (like you are with 1 minute graqnularity) 
then you need to use another collector.

It is working now. 
I have more query. I need to understand how MRTG makes graph. When it
says it is 5 min Avg, then how does MRTG calculates Avg.

For example I have below configuration. I am using rrd tool here.
Interval is set to 1 minute. And in cron I am executing mrtg after
every
1 min.
So MRTG should poll after every 1 min and should give me 1 min avg
usage.
But I noticed my graph get updated after 5 min. Why so?
