<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=2>You need to do 5
things.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2>1. Make sure you are using RRDtool as
your backend and not native mode, else you can't use <5min. If you
switch to RRDtool from native, be aware you will need a frontend to cretae the
graphs on demand, such as Routers2 or 14all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2>2. Put 'Interval:1' in your .cfg
files.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2>3. Delete your old .rrd files - they
were made with interval 5 and so you cant convert them easily. The new
ones will be automatically created according to the Interval:
definition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2>4. Change your collection to 1-min
intervals. This may mean altering your scheduler (if you use something
like cron) or may happen automatically (if you run MRTG in daemon
mode)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=tahoma size=2>5. If you are using Routers2 as your
frontend for MRTG/RRD, you will need to add '6hour=yes' to your routers2.conf
to enable the '6hour' graph in the menu (IE, the graph at the 1min granularity
rather than the daily graph which is 5min granularity)</FONT></DIV>

collecting data on my Cisco switch every 5 minutes, is it possible
