[smokeping-users] Graph scale problem

This is because of the 'unison_tolerance' setting in your smokeping 
configuration file.

*unison_tolerance*

    if a graph is more than this factor of the median 'max' it drops out
    of the unison scaling algorithm. A factor of two would mean that any
    graph with a max either less than half or more than twice the median
    'max' will be dropped from unison scaling
