[SOLVED] Change "base value?" for a graph

Post by sergani »

Hi all,

I have the attached graph that is monitoring a "Single OID value" from one of our VoIP switches.

Is it possible to display 1000, instead of 1K on the left? What should I do?

I'm not using any custom created templates etc...

Thanks in advance
//M

Hmmm ... I tried that but all that changed was the legend numbers...
I can't seem to change the y-scale

I've attached a screenshot; highlighted in green is the Legend, where all is ok, but red, is where i need to have exact numbers as well.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

[-X|--units-exponent value]

This sets the 10**exponent scaling of the y-axis values. Normally, values will be scaled to the appropriate units (k, M, etc.). However, you may wish to
display units always in k (Kilo, 10e3) even if the data is in the M (Mega, 10e6) range, for instance. Value should be an integer which is a multiple of 3
between -18 and 18 inclusively. It is the exponent on the units you wish to use. For example, use 3 to display the y-axis values in k (Kilo, 10e3,
thousands), use -6 to display the y-axis values in u (Micro, 10e-6, millionths). Use a value of 0 to prevent any scaling of the y-axis values.

This option is very effective at confusing the heck out of the default RRDtool autoscaling function and grid painter. If RRDtool detects that it is not
successful in labeling the graph under the given circumstances, it will switch to the more robust --alt-y-grid mode.
