[rrd-users] Right Axis in rrdtool 1.2.29

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Jeffrey,

you have todo the scaling of the graphs yourself, using CDEF. So if
one line is in the 100 thousands, then you do a CDEF:b=a,1000,/ and
draw b ... along with setting the scaling factor for the right axis
to 0.001

cheers
tobi

I thought rrdtool should have a feature that show CPU number in Left Y Axis and Sql Executions in Right Y Axis.  And They should be displayed clearly in the same graph but just different Left and Right Axis numbers in their own scales (i.e, not the one with logarithmic option).
