[rrd-users] rrdtool graph confusion

[Emily Ann Chouinard]

Sorry I meant idle appears above the 100 mark and I'm not sure why. I've 
attached my graph and hopefully someone can help me out!
And here's my entire graph command
   rrdtool.graph('cpu.png',
         '--start','now-3600',
	  '--end','now',	
	  'DEF:uj=cpu.rrd:user:AVERAGE', #define number of jiffies
	  'DEF:nj=cpu.rrd:nice:AVERAGE',#which are the number of ticks
         'DEF:sj=cpu.rrd:sys:AVERAGE',
         'DEF:ij=cpu.rrd:idle:AVERAGE',
	  'CDEF:tj=uj,nj,+,sj,+,ij,+',
	  'CDEF:bo=uj,UN,0,uj,IF,0,GT,UNKN,INF,IF', #creates a gray region when 
user jiffies is undefined
         'AREA:bo#DDDDDD:',
         'CDEF:usr=100,uj,*,tj,/',
         'CDEF:nic=100,nj,*,tj,/',
	  'CDEF:sys=100,sj,*,tj,/',
         'CDEF:idl=100,ij,*,tj,/',
         'CDEF:tot=100,tj,*,tj,/',
	  'AREA:nic#0040A2:Nice',
	  'VDEF:maxN=nic,MAXIMUM',
         'VDEF:minN=nic,MINIMUM',
         'VDEF:avgN=nic,AVERAGE',
         'GPRINT:maxN:  Max %6.2lf%%',
         'GPRINT:minN:  Min %6.2lf%%',
         'GPRINT:avgN:  Avg %6.2lf%%\l',
	  'AREA:sys#90C5CC:System:STACK',
         'LINE2:1#70A5AC::STACK',
	  'VDEF:maxS=sys,MAXIMUM',
         'VDEF:minS=sys,MINIMUM',
         'VDEF:avgS=sys,AVERAGE',
         'GPRINT:maxS:Max %6.2lf%%',
         'GPRINT:minS:  Min %6.2lf%%',
         'GPRINT:avgS:  Avg %6.2lf%%\l',
         'AREA:usr#B0E5EC:User:STACK',
         'LINE2:1#90C5CC::STACK',
         'VDEF:maxU=usr,MAXIMUM',
         'VDEF:minU=usr,MINIMUM',
         'VDEF:avgU=usr,AVERAGE',
         'GPRINT:maxU:  Max %6.2lf%%',
         'GPRINT:minU:  Min %6.2lf%%',
         'GPRINT:avgU:  Avg %6.2lf%%\l',
	  'AREA:idl#EEFFFF:Idle:STACK',
	  'LINE:1#DDDDDD::STACK',
         'VDEF:maxI=idl,MAXIMUM',
 	  'VDEF:minI=idl,MINIMUM',
 	  'VDEF:avgI=idl,AVERAGE',
 	  'GPRINT:maxI:  Max %6.2lf%%',
 	  'GPRINT:minI:  Min %6.2lf%%',
 	  'GPRINT:avgI:  Avg %6.2lf%%\l',
	  '--vertical-label','Ticks',
	  '--title','Hourly CPU Usage',
	  'COMMENT:' + cur_date + '')
