[rrd-users] Re: Gap in right of graph

[Aragon Gouveia]

I thought it had something to do with that. I tried what you said but I
still get that gap sometimes. I'd say every second graph update (I'm
using -z as well so not all the graphs update every 2 minutes). I tried
setting the endtime to now-240 (and greater) and still the same thing.
Sometimes there's no gap, sometimes there is.


Thanks,
Aragon
