change the step from 300 secs to 60 secs in the rrd's and run the script

the true values not average. The problem is I have data that I want to
graph that can range from 0 to 5 "thats 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5" and
the graph shows average so my graphs come out with numbers like 6m "6 milli" for
a true value of 2 and so on. The problem is the data will sit a 0 for
an hour or more and then go to 1 or 2 for just one sample. Average is not
the right choice and I cant get the true figures I 'm looking
for.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

made the changes to hobbitgraph.cfg and no go. You cant see the
graphs <SPAN class=054561713-11082008>if you use anything but AVERAGE
</SPAN>after changing the hobbitgraph.cfg. It looks like the *.rrd's are
created by default "AVERAGE" and you just edit the hobbitgraph.cfg to
view whats already built. I need to figure out how to change the way the
rrd's are built and its not thru
the hobbitgraph.cfg.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
