95th percentile line / rrdtool question

Post by soloslinger »

I am trying to duplicate a couple of my cacti graphs outside of cacti to have them periodically emailed out. I can get the graphs created but I don't understand how cacti puts the 95th % line on the graphs. I have read through rrdtool's documentation and either I am missing it or there is no way to calculate a 95% within rrdtool, and the calculation is done in cacti rather then done with rrdtool.

Does Cacti calculate the 95% then ask rrdtool to create the graph with the appropriate horizontal line or does cacti simply tell rrdtool it wants a 95% line on the graph. And if so, what is that syntax?

Cacti calculates the value and places it on the graph.
