Shouldn't normalization only apply to non-GAUGE RRDs, or is this not the case? A gauge is a gauge regardless of the bin size, is that not right? > Alex has some excellent descriptions of this on his website : > http://www.vandenbogaerdt.nl/rrdtool/ I read the section about rates and normalization and hope I didn't miss the answer to this there. Just trying to learn a little more about how this works while I can from Paul's excellent question here. Thanks! -- William R.
