[mrtg] Different values on graph from MRTG & Cricket

[Mir Hafeez Ali]

Thanks for your reply.  

I have adjusted the polling time accordingly but still there is always the
difference.  I tried other software like CACTI and PRTG also.  PRTG displays
almost equal but CACTI doesn't.

More over I would like to get some help in regards to the history of the
traffic.  I mean the graph for month and year displays the average value of
max traffic.  With WithPeak option I can have the peak value for the month
and year.

With CACTI, I can get the value from specific date and time with in the
range but again I think its an average value that is calculated to display
the graph.

My question is "Is there a way to find out or display the traffic for a
particular day or week from the history or not?"

Thanks in advance and appreciate your efforts in answering the question.

Regards,

Hi Mir,

the 'problem' may be that you are not polling at exactly the same
time, so the peak traffic is not in exactly the same interval ...

example: cricket measures from 9:08am - 9:13am and
         mrtg measures from    9:06am - 9:11am

cheers
