comparing graphs

[stevie]

Hi. I have created two graphs showing bandwidth utilisation on a router - incoming and outgoing.

Although we are sending out a lot less than we receive the outgoing graph stretches its y axis to be the same size as the incoming graph. This way I do not get a good graphic representation - especially as this is displayed on a big screen for a NOC.

Can I get my graphs to use the same scale for the y axis?

thanks.

Yes, modify the graph template and turn off autoscaling. Set the max/min values.

My suggestion would be to use a CDEF=CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE,-1,* (make negative) for e.g. the outbound traffic. So it will show up on the negative y-axis. This produces nice graphs, but if there's more than a factor of 10 between both sources, this will not help much
