[rrd-users] Re: Incorrect values

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

RRDTool normalizes the data.  I'm guessing your values are not 
getting read at the exact moment you think they are, thus this 
screws up the integer value you expect to be seeing.

If a value of 4 is actually read just 1 second later than it should 
be (if your poll interval is 300), your value will be off, probably 
getting a value of 4.003 input into the database.  If your poll 
interval is 60 seconds, a second delay in the poll will cause the 
value of 4.016 to be input into the RRA.

I have been using mrtg/rrdtool and 14all for a while now, but have just

noticed that gauge values are coming in as decimal values, when these
should 
be whole numbers.

Example, current connections:
Maximum Conns: 6.201
Average Conns: 3.249
Current Conns: 2.780

Actual reading is a whole number like 4 when polled using getif.

here is my config:
