Graph Average Anomaly

[jkukis]

Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this average on the graph to be so off? I'm getting averages of "873m" which makes no sense since it is a CPU Utilization %.

Here is the RRDTool output:

/bin/rrdtool graph - \

See http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=8168 for meaning of m after your data.

Also is your base value within your graph template set to 1000 ??

Base value is set to 1000, should it be?

Actually you are right, looking at the link you sent, the 'm' is milli not mega. And I expected the CPU of this device to be low, so it would be possible for the average to be .8% .

Base value should be set to 1000 for CPU usage.
