I have several servers who's load avg is often below 1.0 for days at a
time. This morning I happened to check their larrd graphs and noticed
that they all had rather odd (at least in the load average sense of
things) Y-axis scaling. Instead of a fractional value like 0.2, 0.8,
they read 200m, 800m. My BB server with larrd-0.43c, which is graphing
the same data (it uses BBRELAY to send it to hobbit), uses the
fractional units and I verified my hobbitgraphs.cfg la rrd definitions
(seen below) matched those in BB/larrd. Is this something hobbit does?
I used the same rrdtool tarball to build both my BB & hobbit servers,
so I don't think it's the rrd toolkit.
