Graph 1 looks very much like the data from graph 2 reduced to a lower 
resolution by an averaging function. Chances are that the start & end 
times for your graphs are causing the RRD tool to select a different 
set of data from your archive than you were expecting.

It is a good idea to select your end time as a multiple of the step 
size for the resolution of the data you want to plot, as in end = end 
- ( end % step ). Then select your start time as the end time minus 
the step size times the number of pixels (or should that be "number 
of pixels - 1" ?).


If you want to show max values on a graph then you must have a max 
value aggregation in your rrd. It is impossible to infer the max 
values from an average !
