Edit the values? To change what is being displayed on the graph, edit the graph template. The values themselves are stored in the rrd file(s).

I want to edit the values, bacause you can see on my screenshot the max value on the first graph ist 100. Why is max value on the second graph only 33,33 ? It's the same device (CPU), so the values must be equal, or I'm wrong ?

The max on the second graph is only 33, because of the way rrdtool works. It averages out the data over time. If you don't want this to happen, you'll need to increase the rows in the rrd file. Search the forum for data retention.

Sorry, BSOD2000, no offense, but I do not agree. In this case I'd like to display not only the AVERAGE after consolidation but the MAX as well. MAX conserves the maximum value of those "averaged" data points. So it gives you the impression on peak values.
Using AVERAGEs is good for trending, not good for absolute (peak) values.
Using MAX is good for peak values, not good for volume oriented questions.
