OK, I'm using Cacti, but the problem seems to be in rrdtool, or rather I'm not passing the right information. I'm monitoring how much bandwidth is available on a metered connection. When the graph hits 0, I'm out (and throttled). Simple stuff.

The problem. I have maximum 15GB per month of "anytime" data and 20GB of "nighttime". The graph is telling me that I have 14.95GB remaining in the former and 20.38GB in the latter. Now, how could it possibly be giving me a value that is MORE than the greatest value being fed to it. I am using GAUGE/LAST for everything.

Here is a clip from rrdtool info. How do I use the last_ds values? Those are the correct values. Thats what I want graphed. Thats what I want to display. I have no idea what the value lines are or what they are so much larger than the real values (larger than the max). I don't see how normalization could inflate values. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

ds[anytime].type = "GAUGE"
ds[anytime].minimal_heartbeat = 300
ds[anytime].min = 0.0000000000e+00
ds[anytime].max = 1.5000000000e+07
ds[anytime].last_ds = "14600000"
ds[anytime].value = 2.9200000000e+07
ds[anytime].unknown_sec = 0
ds[offtime].index = 1
ds[offtime].type = "GAUGE"
ds[offtime].minimal_heartbeat = 300
ds[offtime].min = 0.0000000000e+00
ds[offtime].max = 2.0000000000e+07
ds[offtime].last_ds = "19900000"
ds[offtime].value = 3.9800000000e+07
ds[offtime].unknown_sec = 0


Thank You,
Evan Langlois
