Years ago I saw a pattern in one of my connection graphs. I was testing hosts on the another subnet that had a older router providing connectivity. There was also an automated backup job of some local file systems, and then batch jobs dispatched 5 nights a week. And that was what stuck out: The pattern changed on Saturday/Sunday night.

Hi, If nothing else helps, maybe you can add some debug to look at the numbers before they get dropped in the rrd and so try to confirm or not that's a rrd consolidation characteristic or may be it could be the real net test numbers ... -wm ----------------------- Original Message ----------------------- From: jon at shadowsoft.com (Jon Boede) To: hobbit at hswn.dk

Our ping times occasionally turn up graphs like the attached... It seems to me that this is an artifact of how rrd averages multiple into time "buckets" but I am not quite sure of that... anybody have an opinion as to what causes it?
If the image doesn't come through as an attachment, I've put it up on http://www.email.net/jon/hobbitping.png
Curiously, Jon
