One graph - different scaling?

Post by dainiookas »

Hi,
I've now an idea to draw some kind of graphs with 2 different values but would like to have it on one graph. The problem is that I have very different values in it, that is one graph can have values 0-10 and another one 0 - 4000. If I depict two lines in the same graph the 0-10 value will be almost invisible. Is there a way to have different scale'ing values or something like that to solve this problem?
I have an idea to draw one of these values to negative Y values, and other to positive, but then again - the 0-10 line will be almost invisible.

Cheers!

Well, rrdtool supports having a left AND a right axis. But Cacti doesn't support this yet. I'm mentioning this, because that would seem like the perfect solution for your problem.
