MRTG Help again

[David While]

I update my graphs every hour with a 30 minute interval. I don't produce
the exact graphs you want but do have a summary page with graphs of mail,
spam and viruses.

Also I produce a list of viruses detected and domains that we have received
spam from. Mostly these end up being IP numbers but I'm working on that.

You can see the output at http://www.boys-brigade.org.uk/mrtg/

I have gotten the below MRTG config to work on my server.  My Cobalt Raq
automatically rotates the log files dailly at 4am so I set a cron job to
run
MRTG at 3am.

What seems strange to me is that the MRTG page shows percentages when that
does not really apply to this situation.  It also seems strange that we
have
a 30 minute and 2 hour average graphs when they stats are only updated once
a day.

What I would like is to have 2 graphs on 1 webpage.  The first would
reflect
a daily average of mail vs. viruses and the 2nd mail vs. spam.  Could
anyone
tell me how to do that?  I got MRTG to monitor my t1 lines and that was a
struggle so I am no MRTG expert.

Thanks

Matt
