My experience has been that you need to divide the data by the number of CPUs that appear in any system performance monitors. That generally includes all real and virtual CPUs. So in your case 6, if I'm understanding correctly.
If you want to be sure, don't divide by anything, and push the MaxBytes up in increments of 100 until your graph never flat-lines or tops out unrealistically.

My mrtg.cfg: [...] Target[machine]: ssCpuRawUser.0&ssCpuRawUser.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] + ssCpuRawSystem.0&ssCpuRawSystem.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] + ssCpuRawNice.0&ssCpuRawNice.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] RouterUptime[machine]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MaxBytes[machine]: 100 [...] My question: What is the value that I must put for maxbytes having several CPU's? 100? 100 x numbers of cpu ? The value changes if they are real CPU's or cpus with hyperthreading? thanks -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi ___________________________________________________________________ PBS HAS A NEW ADDRESS!
