[mrtg] MRTG vs. Cricket

[Patrick Topping]

I am hoping someone can help me out with this issue I am having.....  I 
am working on migrating from Cricket to MRTG.  So far so good except 
that the Cricket graphs are pretty spot on for a 5 minute interval while 
the MRTG graphs are anywhere from 600 Mbps to 1 Gbps off at peak time.  
For example, I have a 10-gig circuit that runs roughly at 7 Gbps a peak 
time.  Cricket graphs it damn near spot on.  MRTG is off by almost a 
full gig.

I have checked the cron jobs and both services are running every 5 
minutes.  They are synced to NTP and the clocks are not off so they are 
both seeing the exact same data.  I have set up my CFG files to use the 
64 bit counters. 

I have Googled for answers but not a lot out there on this topic.  I am 
hoping this is something small I have missed and can easily be fixed.  
Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.
