[mrtg] Questions about MRTG interval.

[Sean Cheesman]

Are you still polling in 5-minute intervals?  The Interval directive just tells MRTG how often you are polling so it can calculate properly, and may adjust polling if running as a daemon (just guessing there).  You still have to modify you cron job (or whatever you're using to poll) to reflect the 10-minute interval.

About Mrtg interval;
Dear everyone:
 I'm having some questions about MRTG "Interval".
 My first question is:How does this property work?You know,from the document of "mrtg-
reference",I was told that [In this example, we tell mrtg that we will be calling it every 10
minutes. If you are calling mrtg every 5 minutes, you can leave this line commented out.
Example:
 Interval: 10
]
I've set it to 10,but when I go to look in the log file,the timestamps interval is still 5
minutes.

1240106100 4132041 1550535 4204185 1558399
Why is that?
 My second question is : Which porperty of "interval" does MRTG use calculate the Max
incoming/outgoing traffic? Can it be setting?
      Thank you in advance!
      Enjoy!
