Greetings,

I have a bizarre problem when using GAUGE.
My boss was stumped and now so am I.

The following behaves as expected:

rrdtool create foo.rrd --step 86400 --start 969580173 DS:outsecs:GAUGE:86400:0:U RRA:MAX:0.5:1:400 
~~
rrdtool update foo.rrd 969666573:10
rrdtool update foo.rrd 969752973:20
rrdtool update foo.rrd 969839373:30
rrdtool update foo.rrd 969925773:40
rrdtool update foo.rrd 970012173:35
rrdtool update foo.rrd 970098573:30
rrdtool update foo.rrd 970184973:25
rrdtool update foo.rrd 970271373:5 
rrdtool update foo.rrd 970357773:20
rrdtool update foo.rrd 970444173:25
~~
rrdtool fetch foo.rrd MAX -s -90days

969580800: 1.0000000000e+01 
969667200: 1.0072569444e+01 
969753600: 2.0072569444e+01 
969840000: 3.0072569444e+01

970358400: 2.0036284722e+01 
970444800: 2.4927430556e+01 

but strangely this does not:

rrdtool create zoo.rrd --step 86400 --start 968760073 DS:outhrs:GAUGE:86400:0:U RRA:MAX:0.5:1:400

970272000: 1.0512673611e+01

It appears the average between the current and previous data point are being calculated. I would like
to have the actual data point stored. I would appreciate any help.

Many thanks, 
Pete
