Cheshire Cat Computing

Hi,

I have been using MRTG-2.16.2 and its monitoring a few devices for CPU usage on top of some interfaces. I noticed that the CPU graphs display LOAD on the CPU in % in green. But i also saw blue spikes in the graphs and some megenta spikes as well on cpu graphs. On an interface graphs i can understand what they are for, but not sure what do these Blue and Magenta lines mean in the CPU graph as all we are monitoring is CPU load which is displayed in Green, so what Blue and Magenta lines are doing there?
Also you have a good christmas and thanks for all your help for your support this year.

cheers

This depends on how you have configured MRTG.

The magenta and dark green lines are the 'peak' lines on the w/m/y graphs corresponding to the blue lines and green area respectively; however what the blue and green represent depends on how you have configured MRTG to collect and display this data.

If you post your .cfg file here then someone can give you some pointers.
