That produces a saw tooth graph. Any other options?

Since this isn't an often event, you would probably be better off with
gauge and larger step unless you are adding these up over time (in which
case, use derive to count the difference between steps). Depending on
how 'blocky' you want the graph to appear vs higher numbers (per 5
minutes, per hour, etc) just enlarge your step size to consolidate more
events into the time period you are checking. If you check your logfiles
every hour, then set your step to every hour and update with the count
of events for just that hour. You will get an hourly block graph,
graphing over a longer period of time though, the blocks will decrease
in size of course.

ok,ok, ha ha.

I have read the manual, and have built many graphs using rrdtool (hence
why I'd like to use it for this as well).
What I was after was some intelligent discussion on various methods that
would display the data the best.
For example, if I mark the time an event occurs, then increment the
value (say once per hour) until the next event occurs, I'd get a saw
tooth graph.
Now, that's all I can think of for measuring how often Google hits my
pages. I was hoping that some people could suggest other ideas for
graphing this sort of occurrence.

kind regards
Darryl

something like this?

now it's really difficult not to RTFM this one :-)
