Hi,

you'll have to change these values in the Database section if you need
longer periods of data. Currently you are storing

* 1008 rows of five-second values
AVERAGE  0.5   1  1008

* 4320 rows of one-minute averages (12 steps * 5 seconds) == 72 hours == 3 days
AVERAGE  0.5  12  4320

* 720 rows of 12-minute averages (144 steps * 5 seconds) == 144 hours == 6 days
AVERAGE  0.5 144   720

See the rrdtutorial document in the RRDtool distribution for more details.

Cheers,
