<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">When using MRTG with RRD, you are restricted to two (and exactly two) datasources. This is a restriction of MRTG, not of RRDTool, so you could manually create an RRD with additional
datasources - however, MRTG would not update or read them.<br>
<br>
If you are using the Routers2 frontend for MRTG/RRD, then you can have multiples Targets, each with two datasources, and then define a Userdefined graph over them to make a single graph with more than 2 variables. The component targets can be hidden from the
menu. See the examples for Linux server CPU and network device 'Incoming' graphs at<br>
