[mrtg] Re: Usage spikes

[Koelstra, J. (Jan)]

Drew,

Other possibilies:
You can use 'Logscale' or 'secondmean' at the options line.
Or you can switch to rrdtool and use a front end in which you can specify the hours to graph.

HTH,

Jan.

Set MaxBytes to something like 2MB for that parameter and it will ignore the spike.

Regards,

Subject: [mrtg] Usage spikes

I am monitoring a web server's network usage through MRTG.  Every day at 3:00 AM it makes a backup to a Snap server on my network.  This takes about an hour and causes a 40Mb spike to appear in my chart.  This spike makes everything else that day extremely hard to read as most of the rest of the usage is below 1Mb.  Is there any way I can keep this from distorting my entire graph short of just not monitoring that machine during that time?
