A single point of data is all but meaningless. Collect data every 5 minutes for at least 24 hours. Break that data up into 24 hour chunks, then run some numbers on it. Doing less than that and attempting global analysis is utterly worthless. Doing daily averages over a week would be even better. You may want to be careful, not everyone is a kid on this list. There are some of us that have been maintaining servers for the better part of a decade. -- Hexis www.hxxl.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
