Well, not really. I'm still graphing ups and downs (1's and 0's 
respectively) but I only want the service level line to report the 
average of everything EXCEPT unknowns. I don't want the SLA to be wrong 
because the polling PC missed a poll. Therefor I only want actual data 
to be graphed and unknowns ignored.

Good suggestion but its result is not quite what I was looking for. 
This makes all unknowns = 0.0 (or in my case I tried 1.0 - which made 
the graphs look far more successful than they should be) Again, the only 
acceptable result would be to eliminate unknowns entirely.

I'll go run through the tutorial pages again. It has been a while and 
though I felt comfortable with RRDTool afterward, this seemingly more 
complicated graph building syntax has be a little bewildered.
