[rrd-users] Absolute values..

[Gavin Landon]

Ok, maybe that's why some of the numbers are off..

Here is one that is the simplest I can make it and let me know, if this
is the "Normalization" part that I'm just not understanding at the
moment.

There is never a number larger than "1" put in and most of them are "0".
However the graft goes up to 1, but seems to taper before and after
(only in some parts) as if there are decimals less than 1 in the data.

man rrdgraph

...
  [-b|--base value]
  If you are graphing memory (and NOT network traffic) this switch
  should be set to 1024 so that one Kb is 1024 byte.
  For traffic measurement, 1 kb/s is 1000 b/s.


  afaik default is 1000
