[rrd-users] Correct CDEF to get the spam count right?

[Erik de Mare]

hi Vincent,

VDEF's aren't meant to make graphs, the are for aditional info in the 
legenda. VDEF's only return 1 value, like maximum value of the period 
graphed, of the total of that period. so for the graph you still need 
the CDEF's.

mvg,

Erik de Mare
