Hi Tobi, Thanks for your fast reply. I appreaciate that. So basically this is because of the design of rrdtool. I don't have the posiblity to graph the actual values, it is always somehow inerpolated even if i store values every minute with an 60 second step?
I mean if it is designed lie that than we now at least know why the values are plotted like that.

Hopefully some of you can explain that behavior to me. The main issue is that it seems like the value which is saved into the RRD (which i see as last_ds) is not plotted, instead a consolidated (seems to me like that) value is plotted which is nearly like original one but not exactly. I am aware of the consolidation functions, we are saving AVERAGE and LAST values in to the RRD and i am printing the LAST value as a text below the graph. I suggest that the graphing command is wrong and therefore actual last measured value isn't plotted? Following is an example. The measured value is 11.87, i can see it in my rrd but a slightly lower value (10.87) is plotted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rrdtool info rrd_version = "0003" step = 60 last_update = 1341830472 ds[val].type = "GAUGE" ds[val].minimal_heartbeat = 10000 ds[val].min = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[val].max = NaN ds[val].last_ds = "11.87" ds[val].value = 1.4244000000e+02 ds[val].unknown_sec = 0 ds[green].type = "GAUGE" ds[green].minimal_heartbeat = 10000 ds[green].min = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[green].max = NaN ds[green].last_ds = "12.159" ds[green].value = 1.4590800000e+02 ds[green].unknown_sec = 0 ds[yellow].type = "GAUGE" ds[yellow].minimal_heartbeat = 10000 ds[yellow].min = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[yellow].max = NaN ds[yellow].last_ds = "12" ds[yellow].value = 1.4400000000e+02 ds[yellow].unknown_sec = 0 ds[red].type = "GAUGE" ds[red].minimal_heartbeat = 10000 ds[red].min = 0.0000000000e+00 ds[red].max = NaN ds[red].last_ds = "24" ds[red].value = 2.8800000000e+02 ds[red].unknown_sec = 0 rra[0].cf = "AVERAGE" rra[0].rows = 44640 rra[0].pdp_per_row = 1 rra[0].xff = 5.0000000000e-01 rra[0].cdp_prep[0].value = NaN rra[0].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[0].cdp_prep[1].value = NaN rra[0].cdp_prep[1].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[0].cdp_prep[2].value = NaN rra[0].cdp_prep[2].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[0].cdp_prep[3].value = NaN rra[0].cdp_prep[3].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[1].cf = "MAX" rra[1].rows = 44640 rra[1].pdp_per_row = 5 rra[1].xff = 5.0000000000e-01 rra[1].cdp_prep[0].value = 1.0869000000e+01 rra[1].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[1].cdp_prep[1].value = 1.0989150000e+01 rra[1].cdp_prep[1].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[1].cdp_prep[2].value = 1.2000000000e+01 rra[1].cdp_prep[2].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[1].cdp_prep[3].value = 2.4000000000e+01 rra[1].cdp_prep[3].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[2].cf = "AVERAGE" rra[2].rows = 280320 rra[2].pdp_per_row = 15 rra[2].xff = 5.0000000000e-01 rra[2].cdp_prep[0].value = 1.0917483333e+02 rra[2].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[2].cdp_prep[1].value = 8.2052400000e+01 rra[2].cdp_prep[1].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[2].cdp_prep[2].value = 1.3200000000e+02 rra[2].cdp_prep[2].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[2].cdp_prep[3].value = 2.6400000000e+02 rra[2].cdp_prep[3].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[3].cf = "MAX" rra[3].rows = 280320 rra[3].pdp_per_row = 75 rra[3].xff = 5.0000000000e-01 rra[3].cdp_prep[0].value = 2.0209166667e+01 rra[3].cdp_prep[0].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[3].cdp_prep[1].value = 1.5927900000e+01 rra[3].cdp_prep[1].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[3].cdp_prep[2].value = 1.2000000000e+01 rra[3].cdp_prep[2].unknown_datapoints = 0 rra[3].cdp_prep[3].value = 2.4000000000e+01 rra[3].cdp_prep[3].unknown_datapoints = 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the value: OK - Value is 11.87 Performance Data: 'Value'=11.87;12;24;; 'Value2'=12.159;12;24;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the graph command: RRD: command: /usr/local/bin/rrdtool graph - --vertical-label="Value / Value2" --lower-limit 0 --end now --start now-1y --width 800 --height 250 --title "Yearly View" DEF:val=/mnt/hd/daaz/var/rrds/Perf-Random-1#SonicWall01.rrd:val:AVERAGE CDEF:nval=val,UN,0,val,IF DEF:green=/mnt/hd/daaz/var/rrds/Perf-Random-1#SonicWall01.rrd:green:AVERAGE CDEF:nval2=green,UN,0,green,IF VDEF:avg=val,AVERAGE VDEF:max=val,MAXIMUM VDEF:min=val,MINIMUM VDEF:last=val,LAST VDEF:avg2=green,AVERAGE VDEF:max2=green,MAXIMUM VDEF:min2=green,MINIMUM VDEF:last2=green,LAST COMMENT:" Value Value2\n" GPRINT:last:" Last \: %12.2lf" GPRINT:last2:" %12.2lf\n" GPRINT:min:" Minimum \: %12.2lf" GPRINT:min2:" %12.2lf\n" GPRINT:avg:" Average \: %12.2lf" GPRINT:avg2:" %12.2lf\n" GPRINT:max:" Maximum \: %12.2lf" GPRINT:max2:" %12.2lf\n" LINE2:nval#00CC00:"Value" LINE1:last#4387FF:"Value Latest" LINE2:nval2#000000:"Value2" LINE1:12.00#FFCC00:"Warning " LINE1:24.00#FF0000:"Critical" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks n advance for your help.
