<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>
