[rrd-users] Y axis unit problem

[Lennart Koopmann]

Hello everyone,

i have a problem with the units on my Y axis. I plot the load average 
(1,5,15min) and created this RRD:

rrdtool create loadavg.rrd --start 1198589209 --step 60 
DS:cpu1:GAUGE:600:U:U DS:cpu5:GAUGE:600:U:U DS:cpu15:GAUGE:600:U:U 
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1440

I fill in the values, generate the graph PNG and everything except the Y 
axis looks great! It 
should have some markers like "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" but it has "0, 200m, 400m, 
600m, 800m" - Why? Where do these unit values come from?

I use this command to generate the graph (generated by a PHP script):

/usr/bin/rrdtool graph 
/home/lennart/Projekte/scopeport-interface-web/rrd/loadavg.png --start 
1198589209 --end N 
DEF:cpu1=/home/lennart/Projekte/scopeport-interface-web/rrd/loadavg.rrd:cpu1:AVERAGE
