Hi,

DSSTATS is an infrastructure plugin without any kind of GUI beside its configuration / setup page. There are some plugins out in the wild using its data stored in the MySQL database for their own calculations.
If you like you can give ReportIt a try. It's difficult to configure for newbies, but after you understood the first step it becomes easy.

In that case you will have to modify your graph template. I would prefer to duplicate the graph template and to modify that copy only. There you can define a new line based on max values and then you can change the graph template of an existing traffic graph to that new one.
Within the graph debug mode you can see you changes as well:

Code: Select all

...
DEF:a="/proj/netops/cacti/cacti-0.8.7i/rra/niesw107_traffic_in_21.rrd":traffic_in:AVERAGE \
DEF:b="/proj/netops/cacti/cacti-0.8.7i/rra/niesw107_traffic_in_21.rrd":traffic_out:AVERAGE \
DEF:c="/proj/netops/cacti/cacti-0.8.7i/rra/niesw107_traffic_in_21.rrd":[b]traffic_out:MAX[/b] \
....

Please read the Cacti documentation as well. http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:3_templates.2_graph_template#graph_templates
