[rrd-users] Graphing average temperatures

[Petteri Matilainen]

If I'm reading your graphs correctly, you don't graph the average
temperature at all. You only display it on the 'avg.' column. I specifically
need to graph the average over 24 hrs, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year. I have
read your 'how to do this' and it has been very useful. Here's a sample
image of what I've managed to graph so far:

On the picture there is also the gap I mentioned.
The average curve is plotted the way I described it on my earlier posts.

cheers,

Petteri
