IIRC the DERIVE type will deal with this. While data is increasing it acts like a COUNTER type, but if it decreases it assumes a reset or counter wrap. I think you'll lose the sample where the counter resets, but I suppose you could always add some extra sampling either side of the reset to minimise that. _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list rrd-users@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
