Hey all,
One of our network engineers has noticed an issue with the way OpsView graphs 
are scaling.   When you look at the max on the year view, it only gives you the 
max of the graph data (which isn't taking into consideration the true max of 
the data set).  If you zoom in and look at a week or day view, the max is much 
higher.  It is like when you scale out, it isn't catching the high/low data 
correctly.  Perhaps it is just breaking up all of the data into chunks and 
plotting it, not taking into consideration the original total data set for the 
scale when it displays min and max.  Its fine for trending to show just chunks 
of data across the scale, but I think you should always show the true min and 
max across that scale.   (Specifically on SNMP interface checks).

IE:
Yearly data TRUE max is 5 Mbps.. because we have days where the throughput 
spikes up at least that high.  This happens fairly often for a short period of 
time.  Opsview captures the data correctly because we can see it on the 1 day 
view.  Unfortunately if we look across the year, none of these anomalies show 
up, so it shows the max is 1.5 Mbps.  Granted they are outliers, but the true 
max is fairly important.

Any ideas?  This may be some option somewhere that I am unaware of.

Thanks,
Will
