<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">You need to first globally enable the total/percentile module in the routers2.conf, though, by using the directive:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">There is not currently an option to selectively turn it on, because of the way the calculation module is linked into the code, but you can use a global default
(as in your example) to globally disable and then selectively enable if you want. Originally this module was computationally expensive, but currently this additional loading is minimal due to improvements in Routers2 and RRDTool.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">The percentile calculations use the best RRA available; therefore you lose accuracy on higher granularity (eg, monthly graphs). You can fix this by using
the RRDRowCount[] directive, or RRDRowCount2h[] (if you have MRTG 2.16.4 or better) to set the row count to 9600 or better (this only affects NEW RRD files, with existing RRD files you’ll need to use rrdtune to expand the first RRA to have the same effect)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I believe that this can be used to turn it off if it is on in the .conf file. This is how I understood it from reading your first edition of Using MRTG with RRDtool and Routers2?</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
