 Well.... i will start form the beginning....

 The rrd file......

  rrdtool create port_xxx.rdd --step 60 \
  DS:in:COUNTER:600:U:U                 \
  DS:out:COUNTER:600:U:U                \
  RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600                 \
  RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700                 \
  RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775                \
  RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:3725              \
  RRA:MAX:0.5:1:1:600                   \
  RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700                     \
  RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775                    \
  RRA:MAX:0.5:288:3725;

 3725 = 5 years!!!!

 I get via snmp each minute the trafic from the switch port xxx.

 How can i do this better???

 I mean, the rrd file is saving each 5 minutes while i get data each minute.
 I do not understand very well the structure of the rrd file.

 The graphic (new update):

  --start -2h
  --end now
  DEF:in=port_xxx.rdd:in:AVERAGE
  CDEF:tin=in,7200,*
  DEF:out=port_xxx.rdd:out:AVERAGE
  CDEF:tout=out,7200,*
  AREA:in#00FF00:"IN  "
  GPRINT:tin:AVERAGE:"B/s\: %9.0lf "
  GPRINT:in:MAX:"Max\: %9.0lf "
  GPRINT:in:AVERAGE:"Ave\: %6.0lf "
  GPRINT:in:LAST:"Cur\: %6.0lf\c"
  LINE1:out#0000FF:"Out "
  GPRINT:tout:AVERAGE:"B/s\: %9.0lf "
  GPRINT:out:MAX:"Max\: %9.0lf "
  GPRINT:out:AVERAGE:"Ave\: %6.0lf "
  GPRINT:out:LAST:"cur\: %6.0lf\c" >


 One thing i do not like is that IN (green) area is very rough, i think
that is problem of the rrd file that save each five minutes.


 Is it all OK?????

 Is there something that i can improve???


 Thanks in advance to all answers!!!!!!
