Thanks you, Steve and you, Daniel (Dan).
I will install RRDTool as you both recommended it for me.

To do this, identify the RRD files (they will be targetname.rrd in the WorkDir for a [targetname] target) and use 'rrdtool tune -i ds0:-10 -I ds1:-10' to set the minimum thresholds to -10 (or use another value of course).
