I now have the graph step at 60 secs and heartbeat is at 120 secs and the graph is working. This one problem remaining...

I deleted the rrd and recreated it using the following:

rrdtool create testgraph.rrd --step 60 / DS:test1total:GAUGE:120:0:U / DS:test2total:GAUGE:120:0:U / DS:test3total:GAUGE:120:0:U / RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:576 / RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:576 / RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:576 / RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:576

The problem I still have is the averaging issue. I would like to get the true values not average. The problem is I have data that I want to graph that can range from 0 to 5 "that's 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5" and the graph shows average so my graphs come out with numbers like 200m while the true value is really 2 and so on. The problem is the data will sit a 0 for maybe an hour and then go to 1 or 2 for a sample or two.

Any thoughts on how I could recreate the graphs to show true values?

thanks

Bill
