[rrd-users] Blocky graphs

[Stefan Coetzee]

Hi people...

First time I've mailed, so please excuse dumb questions..

I've searched the archives and google, but can't find any useful info.

The graphs that I generate after 4 days come out blocky, but before 4 days
are fine.

my database was created like this:

rrdtool create /etc/mrtg/mem.extrelay.rrd --start 1093444300  --step 300 \
DS:total:GAUGE:600:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:24
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:31 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:8928:12 \
DS:used:GAUGE:600:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:24
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:31 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:8928:12 \
DS:free:GAUGE:600:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:24
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:31 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:8928:12 \
DS:buffers:GAUGE:600:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:24
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:31 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:8928:12 \
DS:cached:GAUGE:600:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:24
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:31 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:8928:12 \
DS:active:GAUGE:600:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:24
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:31 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:8928:12

now when I graph using the script that I've included in the end of the
email,
and $1 after --start is -5day or greater, I get this:
http://www.thechamber.co.za/test1.gif
-4day:
http://www.thechamber.co.za/test2.gif
-2day
http://www.thechamber.co.za/test3.gif

I'm wanting to graph averages for hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly,
like MRTG used to do.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan
