[rrd-users] Re: counter or absolute

[Chitman Kaur]

For a stable link the CRC errors remain constant....so most of the time the value will remain zero or remain constant...
I also tried to understand what to use for CRC.... and posted few questions here....and as suggested by others it was concluded that GAUGE should be the one.... but then I changed to DERIVE because I wanted to see the change in the CRC numbers and not the exact value in it......
You can try out both and see what suits you the best....

Ive read the definitions but am having a hard time determining what ABSOLUT=
E does - If i want to graph, for example, CRC errors on an interface, a val=
ue that may grow occasionally but often stays the same, should i use Absolu=
te or Counter? - either way it seems like i'll be seeing an empty graph mo=
st of the time
ideas?
